Mail merge for documents contained in a folder or local documents

Aspose.Total Product Family

I’m trying the following with C# SDK

folder.UploadFile(@"" + DocFilePath, “FOLDER”);
…
mailmerge.ExecuteMailMerege(“FOLDER/” + inputFileName, doc.InnerXml, SaveFormat.Pdf, OutputPath);

It gives me 404 not found. Seems like ExecuteMailMerge does not support documents located in folders? Maybe I can do mail merge with local file as an input?

Hi Denis,

Yes, you are right; this method was not handling folders/sub-folders. Now all methods of MailMerge.cs class have been updated to handle folders/sub-folders. Please download latest .NET SDK or MailMerge.cs class from https://github.com/aspose-words-cloud/aspose-words-cloud-dotnet/tree/master/Aspose.Words.Cloud.Sdk.Tests/Api/MailMerge

You can also try the updated MailMerge examples from Create multiple documents at once using MailMerge|Documentation

Please let us know if you still find and issue or have further queries.

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks a lot for a quick solution. I got an impression that sometimes when you creating folder right after that uploading file in there and executing mail merge server side hangs on mail merge template execution. Once you re-run the program when the folder was pre-existing it's not the case. Maybe I'm wrong.

Attaching my C# script.

Hi Denis,

I have also observed similar behavior in some cases when using .NET SDK. There is no issue with the service or other SDKs, this is .NET specific issue. Streams and responses are not closed properly in some methods of .NET SDK which creates this problem.

We are updating .NET SDK to resolve this bug and let you know once it is done. Sorry for the inconvenience.
