Where does BorderStyle live in the IronWord API?

BorderStyle is a class in the IronWord.Models namespace, shipped in IronWord.dll. It derives from Object and describes one border line's color, size, spacing, and pattern.

What is the difference between BorderStyle and Borders in IronWord?

BorderStyle describes the look of one border edge, while Borders is the container that holds four BorderStyle objects, one each for the top, bottom, left, and right sides of a rectangle.

Class BorderStyle

Defines the properties of a border style.

Inheritance

Namespace: IronWord.Models

Assembly: IronWord.dll

Syntax

public class BorderStyle : Object

BorderStyle defines the appearance of a single border line in a Word document. It captures the color, thickness, spacing, and line pattern for one edge, so a developer drawing a box around a paragraph or styling a table cell describes how that line looks with this type. One BorderStyle covers a single side; the Borders container holds four of them to style a whole rectangle.

Set BorderColor with a Color to tint the line, BorderSize (a uint) for its thickness, and BorderSpace (a uint) for the gap between the border and the content it surrounds. BorderValue chooses the line pattern from the BorderValues enumeration, picking a solid, dashed, or other style. Assign a configured BorderStyle to one of the Borders sides (TopBorder, LeftBorder, and so on) to apply it. Because the sizes are unsigned, only non-negative values are valid.

The add table how-to shows borders applied to table structure, and the add styled text how-to covers the surrounding paragraph formatting.
