Kesavan,

Thank you for posting.

Please try the following code snippet which I made:

using System;
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

namespace WordCreateDiagnalLine
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Word.Application wordApp = null;
            Word.Document oDoc = null;
            Word.Range rng = null;
            
            try
            {
                wordApp = new Word.Application();
                wordApp.Visible = true;
                string other = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Other.docx";
                oDoc = wordApp.Documents.Add();
                // C#
                rng = oDoc.Range();
                CreateTable(oDoc,rng);

                CreateDiagonal(oDoc.Tables[1].Cell(1,1).Range);  
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

        private static void CreateDiagonal(Word.Range rng)
        {
            rng.Select();
            rng.Borders[Word.WdBorderType.wdBorderDiagonalDown].LineStyle = Word.WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle;
        }

        private static void CreateTable(Word.Document oDoc, Word.Range rng)
        {
            // C#
            // Move to the end.
            rng.SetRange(rng.End, rng.End);

            // Add the table.
            Object defaultTableBehavior = Type.Missing;
            Object autoFitBehavior = Type.Missing;
            Word.Table tbl = oDoc.Tables.Add(rng, 2, 3,
                ref defaultTableBehavior, ref autoFitBehavior);
            tbl.Borders.InsideLineStyle = Word.WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle;
            tbl.Borders.OutsideLineStyle = Word.WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle;
        }
    }
}

Hope this can help you and just feel free to follow up after you have tried.

Best Regards,
