Hi,
Is it possible to have a bulleted region that is mail merged with a table that references itself with a heirarchical relationship and indents the bullets by level?
eg. The follwing Datatable would produce the following result
ChildID ParentID Level Title
1 null 1 First Level
2 null 1 First Level Again
3 1 2 Second Level
4 3 3 Third Level
1.1 Second Level
1.1.1 Third Level
2. First Level Again
Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. In the current version there is no “one step” way to populate a document with data that has parent-child relationships. For example Order/OrderItem or ProductCategory/Product. Mail merge regions can only process one data table at a time.
It is possible, however, to generate the above reports by performing mail merge several times and building up a resulting document from several documents or fragments. The Product Catalog and Sales Invoice samples in the demo project supplied with Aspose.Words demonstrate the suggested techniques.
Best regards.
