Mailmerge chart into Word Template

Aspose.Words Product Family

OK. Here what I want.
I have a word document template with two places where I need to insert two different charts.
I can set two mergefields named as follows: Image: XXX and Image: YYY
I need you to show me the complete code sample to generate chart into memory and insert to the word by their mergefield name.
I have seen some code displayed over here, but not as complete as I want.
Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. You can use Aspose.Chart component for generating charts in memory. For example here simple code that shows how to achieve this during mail merge:

public void Test002()
{
    // The template contains only two mergefields
    // Image:XXX and Image:YYY, here we create array with field names
    string[] names = { "XXX", "YYY" };
    // As a value of field you can use anything.
    // We will use Integer that limits max value of Random.
    object[] values = { 10, 100 };
    // Open template
    Document doc = new Document(@"Test002\in.doc");
    // Add event handler
    doc.MailMerge.MergeImageField += new MergeImageFieldEventHandler(MailMerge_MergeImageField001);
    // Execute mail merge
    doc.MailMerge.Execute(names, values);
    // Save output document
    doc.Save(@"Test002\out.doc");
}
void MailMerge_MergeImageField001(object sender, MergeImageFieldEventArgs e)
{
    int maxValue = (int)e.FieldValue;
    // Create a chart.
    Aspose.Chart.Chart lineChart = new Aspose.Chart.Chart();
    // Set chart size
    lineChart.Height = 300;
    lineChart.Width = 400;
    // Create new Series
    Aspose.Chart.Series lineSeries = new Aspose.Chart.Series();
    lineSeries.ChartType = Aspose.Chart.ChartType.Line;
    // Lets use field name as a name of Series
    lineSeries.Name = e.FieldName;
    // Create few datapoints
    Random rnd = new Random();
    for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
    {
        lineSeries.DataPoints.Add(new Aspose.Chart.DataPoint(x, rnd.Next(maxValue)));
    }
    // Fill a series 
    lineChart.SeriesCollection.Add(lineSeries);
    // Save chatr in EMF format
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    lineChart.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Emf);
    // Insert chart as EMF
    e.ImageStream = ms;
}

I also attached template and output document.
