Hi,
My word template contains this table:
Frequent Flyer Information
|
Recorded Value |
New Value
(leave blank if recorded value is correct)
|
| «TableStart:FF»Airline / Program |
«FrequentFlyerDesc» |
|
| Membership Number |
«FrequentFlyerNumber» |
«TableEnd:FF» |
But when running ExecuteWithRegions I get this error:
Mail merge region ‘FF’ is badly formed. TableStart and TableEnd should be in the same section, same table row or same table cell.
Basically I want to repeat these two table rows for each dataitem. How can I do it?
Hi
Thanks for your request. I think that you can achieve this using the following template. (Also see the attached documents)
|
Recorded Value |
New Value
(leave blank if recorded value is correct)
|
«TableStart:FF»
| Airline / Program |
«FrequentFlyerDesc» |
|
| Membership Number |
«FrequentFlyerNumber» |
|
«TableEnd:FF»
Here is code example for you.
public void Test110()
{
// Prepare data
DataTable table = new DataTable("FF");
table.Columns.Add("FrequentFlyerDesc");
table.Columns.Add("FrequentFlyerNumber");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row["FrequentFlyerDesc"] = "test_" + i.ToString();
row["FrequentFlyerNumber"] = "test_" + i.ToString();
table.Rows.Add(row);
}
// open template
Document doc = new Document(@"Test110\in.doc");
// Add MergeField event handler
doc.MailMerge.MergeField += new MergeFieldEventHandler(MailMerge_MergeField110);
// Execute mail merge
doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(table);
// Save output document
doc.Save(@"Test110\out.doc");
}
void MailMerge_MergeField110(object sender, MergeFieldEventArgs e)
{
if (e.FieldName == "FrequentFlyerNumber")
{
// Get parent Table
Table myTable = (e.Field.Start.ParentParagraph.ParentNode.ParentNode.ParentNode as Table);
// Remove empty peragraph after table
myTable.NextSibling.Remove();
// Remove empty paragraphbefor table
myTable.PreviousSibling.Remove();
}
}
I hope this could help you.
Best regards.
