orderStylesCollection borders = new BorderStylesCollection();

   BorderStyles borderStyle = null;

   for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i++)

   {

      borderStyle = new BorderStyles();

      borderStyle.PositionType = (PositionType)i;

      borderStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

      borderStyle.LineStyle = LineStyle.Continuous;

      borderStyle.Weight = 1.0;

      borders.Add(borderStyle);

   }

      //For Header style - background color

      if (style.Id == "headerStyle"){

            style.InteriorStyle.Pattern = InteriorPatternType.Solid;

            style.InteriorStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;

      }

      //For alternate row style - background color

      if (style.Id == "alternatingItemStyle" || style.Id == "alternatingPriceItemStyle" || style.Id == "alternatingPercentItemStyle" || style.Id == "alternatingDateItemStyle"){

      if

(

style.Id.Contains("itemStyle") || style.Id == "priceItemStyle" || style.Id == "percentItemStyle" || style.Id == "dateItemStyle")   {

      style.InteriorStyle.Pattern = InteriorPatternType.Solid;

      style.InteriorStyle.Color = System.Drawing.Color.White;

      }

     

// for each cell border styles
