How to get the value from a table cell - migradoc

Question

I have a table I created and am most interested in the "costs" column. I could have more than one row of data in which I would have multiple costs and I want to add those up and put the result in the table cell next to "Total." I saw a method called GetValue(); but not sure if that is what I am looking for or how to use it. My thinking is that migradoc has a method where you can get the value of a table cell in which I would store that in a variable. And where I create the "Total" row, I would use that variable to display the total. So how would I do that?
My code:
/define header of table
Row row = table.AddRow();
row.HeadingFormat = true;
Cell cell = row.Cells[0];
cell.AddParagraph("Customer Name");
cell.Format.Font.Bold = true;
cell = row.Cells[1];
cell.AddParagraph("Date Created");
cell.Format.Font.Bold = true;
cell = row.Cells[2];
cell.AddParagraph("Description");
cell.Format.Font.Bold = true;
cell = row.Cells[3];
cell.AddParagraph("Due Date");
cell.Format.Font.Bold = true;
cell = row.Cells[4];
cell.AddParagraph("Billable Hours");
cell.Format.Font.Bold = true;
cell = row.Cells[5];
cell.AddParagraph("Costs");
cell.Format.Font.Bold = true;
//define a row of data in the table
foreach (TicketView1 ticket in SampleTickets)
{
row = table.AddRow();
cell = row.Cells[0];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.customer_name);
cell = row.Cells[1];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.date_created.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
cell = row.Cells[2];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.description);
cell = row.Cells[3];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.due_date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
cell = row.Cells[4];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.billable_hrs.ToString());
}
cell = row.Cells[5];
cell.AddParagraph("$60.00");
//add invisible row as a space line to the table
row = table.AddRow();
row.Borders.Visible = false;
//add the subtotal row
row = table.AddRow();
row.Cells[0].Borders.Visible = false;
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph("Sub Total:");
row.Cells[0].Format.Font.Bold = true;
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
row.Cells[0].MergeRight = 4;
cell = row.Cells[5];
//add tax row
row = table.AddRow();
row.Cells[0].Borders.Visible = false;
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph("TAX:");
row.Cells[0].Format.Font.Bold = true;
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
row.Cells[0].MergeRight = 4;
//add total
row = table.AddRow();
row.Cells[0].Borders.Visible = false;
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph("TOTAL:");
row.Cells[0].Format.Font.Bold = true;
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
row.Cells[0].MergeRight = 4;
}

I have found out the answer by simple creating a count variable and then inside my forEach loop just adding that sum plus my dummy data which would be 60. Then right where I created my "totals" row, right underneath it I added into the cell that variable which contains the count data.
My forEach loop and count variable
double sum = 0;
foreach (TicketView1 ticket in SampleTickets)
{
row = table.AddRow();
cell = row.Cells[0];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.customer_name);
cell = row.Cells[1];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.date_created.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
cell = row.Cells[2];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.description);
cell = row.Cells[3];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.due_date.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
cell = row.Cells[4];
cell.AddParagraph(ticket.billable_hrs.ToString());
cell = row.Cells[5];
cell.AddParagraph("$60.00");
sum = sum + 60;
}
Where I added the total row and appended the data to the totals cell:
//add total
row = table.AddRow();
row.Cells[0].Borders.Visible = false;
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph("TOTAL:");
row.Cells[0].Format.Font.Bold = true;
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
row.Cells[0].MergeRight = 4;
row.Cells[5].AddParagraph(sum.ToString("$0.00"));
