Setting a Background Image for a Sheet

You can set an image in the background of the cells in the data area of the sheet. Depending on the size of the graphic and the size of the spreadsheet, the image may be repeated (tiled) over the entire sheet of cells, as shown in the following figure.

Sheet Background Image Example

For more information on setting an image in an individual cell, refer to Setting a Background Image to a Cell.

For more information on the image cell type, refer to Setting an Image Cell.

Using Code

  1. Set the BackgroundImage property.
  2. Set the backcolor of the default style.

{
   //Specify background images.
