A Mergefield into a FieldImport

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,

I have a model document (that i can’t modify) with this:

{ IMPORT " {MERGEFIELD logo }" \d }

when i execute the method MailMerge.Execute(data), the mergefield “logo” has the correct value (wich is a URL to a picture).

But the Field Import don’t display the picture. (blank line)

How can i display the picture?

Regards.

Ok, i understand.
In this case, is it possible to replace in the fly the field { IMPORT " {MERGEFIELD logo }" \d } by a mergeregion (like {MERGEFIELD TableStart:Logo} { MERGEFIELD Image:ImageLogo} {TableEnd:Logo})?

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

private static void MergeModel(Stream model, DataRow data, MailMergeCleanupOptions cleanupOption)
{
    Aspose.Words.LoadOptions loadoptions = new Aspose.Words.LoadOptions();
    loadoptions.PreserveIncludePictureField = true;
    mergedDocument = new Document(model, loadoptions);
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(mergedDocument);

    foreach (Field field in mergedDocument.Range.Fields)
    {
        if (field.Type == FieldType.FieldIncludePicture)
        {
                     
            builder.MoveToField(field, true);
            builder.Writeln();
            //builder.MoveToField(field, false);
            builder.InsertField(@"MERGEFIELD TableStart:Logo");
            builder.InsertField(@"MERGEFIELD Image:ImageLogo");
            builder.InsertField(@"MERGEFIELD TableEnd:Logo");

            field.Start.ParentParagraph.Remove();

        }
    }

    mergedDocument.MailMerge.CleanupOptions = cleanupOption;
    mergedDocument.MailMerge.Execute(data);
}
