Problem with the quotation marks («»)

Hello,
I have a small problem with the quotation marks («»). When I use Aspose.Word for .net to merge database fields with a Word document, the text after the quotation marks doesn’t appear in the Word document after the merge. Do you have a solution?

Thank you and have a good day.

The problem occurs in the if statements when the quotation marks are inside the variable. Here’s an image attached.

@sylvain.couture It is normally is not allowed to use double quotes in IF field values. And the only way to have a double quite in the IF field is using an embedded field like this { QUOTE 34 } . This is MS Word limitation. You can try using IFieldMergingCallback to resolve the problem.

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
doc.MailMerge.UnconditionalMergeFieldsAndRegions = true;
doc.MailMerge.FieldMergingCallback = new QuoteResolver();
doc.MailMerge.Execute(new String[] { "condition", "desc1", "desc2" },
        new String[] { "true", "The \"first\" description", "The \"second\" description" });
doc.Save("C:\\temp\\out.docx");

private class QuoteResolver : IFieldMergingCallback
{
    public void FieldMerging(FieldMergingArgs args)
    {
        string fieldValue = (string)args.FieldValue;
        if (!fieldValue.Contains("\""))
            return;

        String[] parts = fieldValue.Split('\"');
        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(args.Document);
        builder.MoveToField(args.Field, false);
        for (int i = 0; i < parts.Length; i++)
        {
            builder.Write(parts[i]);
            if (i < parts.Length - 1)
                builder.InsertField("QUOTE 34");
        }
        args.Text = "";
    }

    public void ImageFieldMerging(ImageFieldMergingArgs args)
    {
        // Do nothing.
    }
}
