You don't set the width of a cell.

you should set the width of the columns. And you can do that by applying them on the table object:

float[] widths = new float[] { 1f, 2f };
table.SetWidths(widths);

The answer from Neha is to set the width of the table object

VB:

Dim intTblWidth() As Integer = {12, 10, 26, 10}

C#:

int[] intTblWidth = { 12, 10, 26, 10 };

Whilst this may or may not be the answer it would be beneficial to explain what you are doing here, for example what are all of these abitrary numbers that you're plucking out of nowhere. Is there a resource you used for this? Maybe you can link to it to be a little more helpful? – Mark Davies Jan 22 '20 at 11:59

Is all this code necessary to set width and height of a single cell? — mkl, Feb 12 '21 at 15:18

cell.width = 200f; you have to put capital W on width correct is cell.Width = 200f;
