Hi,
I'm currently dealing with a problem for which I cannot finde a suitable solution.
Also I'm new to Aspose.Word so there might be an easy way to achieve what I'm trying to solve.
Following issue:
We've developed an application which is capable so solve complex calculations.
All calculations are encapsuled objects which are serialized to xml.
Now we want to change over to generate word documents from these xml files.
Only two things needed to be achieved:
1. Replace single field values.
2. Rewrite existing tables within our word template.
Our generated xml looks like this:
-
-
-
-
10000
-
3500
-
2
-
1.5
3
1
-
7000
-
0
is a table.
is a row.
is only a value which shall be replaced. In that case we think we could use a MERGEFIELD.
One of our problem is to be univocal within the word document.
For our example DustExplosionInternalPressure we would use a unique name for our MERGFIELD like:
TwoStepToriconicalFlatRoof_14015.DustExplosionInternalPressure.SIValue
So the content of SIValue could be perfectly matched.
We have to use this kind of naming because there could be other classes having the same DustExplosionInternalPressure.SIValue
but of course with a different value.
Actually our major problem is how we could solve tables.
One possible option could be that we use a syntax like yours:
Start of a table TableStart:TwoStepToriconicalFlatRoof_14015.AdditionalAttachments
Per row Row:TwoStepToriconicalFlatRoof_14015.AdditionalAttachments.AdditionalAttachment
Per cell Cell:TwoStepToriconicalFlatRoof_14015.AdditionalAttachments.AdditionalAttachment.DeadWeight.SIValue
A more elegant way would be if we could use a kind of a namespace.
So we could define a region in which all child elements are dependend of it's parent path.
E.g.:
{RegionStart:TwoStepToriconicalFlatRoof_14015}
{TableStart:AdditionalAttachments}
...
...
...
...
{TableEnd:AdditionalAttachments}
{ReginEnd:TwoStepToriconicalFlatRoof_14015}
I hope my explanation is sufficient to understand our problem.
Please tell me if there's a easier way and which classes of Aspose.Word you recommend for this job.
Kind regards
