Hi,

i do have a case where a table is being merged with some data, it will be multiple rows.
i do have another table below that which also merges some data. My case is that, the 1st row in the first table is related to the second table.
So i should get the first row of the first table followed by some rows associated with the second table and then second row of first table followed by associated rows of second table. and soon.
How is it possible?
In the case you did not understand my question, i am attaching a word template.It is better if you see the attachment.
Please do tell me how to do that?

Thanks,
raviteja

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. I think that a solution for you is building up a resulting document from several documents. You should use two templates. See the following code. Templates are attached.

public void TestMailMerge_105146()
{
    DataTable list = new DataTable("list");
    list.Columns.Add("LineNbr");
    list.Columns.Add("TermStart");
    list.Columns.Add("TermEnd");
    list.Columns.Add("NbrVisits");
    list.Columns.Add("Product");
    list.Columns.Add("Nbrs");
    list.Columns.Add("Price");
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        DataRow row = list.NewRow();
        row["LineNbr"] = i.ToString();
        row["TermStart"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
        row["TermEnd"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
        row["NbrVisits"] = "10";
        row["Product"] = "test";
        row["Nbrs"] = "10";
        row["Price"] = "100";
        list.Rows.Add(row);
    }
    // open template
    Document doc = new Document(@"400_105146_raviteja\in1.doc");
    doc.MailMerge.MergeField += new MergeFieldEventHandler(MailMerge_MergeField_105146);
    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(list);
    // save document
    doc.Save(@"400_105146_raviteja\out.doc");
}
void MailMerge_MergeField_105146(object sender, MergeFieldEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.FieldName == "list1")
    {
        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(e.Document);
        builder.MoveToMergeField("list1");
        DataTable list1 = new DataTable("list1");
        list1.Columns.Add("LineQty");
        list1.Columns.Add("LineType");
        list1.Columns.Add("LineSN");
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            DataRow row = list1.NewRow();
            row["LineQty"] = i.ToString();
            row["LineType"] = "abc";
            row["LineSN"] = i.ToString();
            list1.Rows.Add(row);
        }
        Document doc2 = new Document(@"400_105146_raviteja\in2.doc");
        doc2.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(list1);
        InsertDocument(builder.CurrentParagraph, doc2);
    }
}

I hope that this information will help you. Please let me know if you would like to know something else.
Best regards.

Hi
Are you sure that there are only 2 rows? Could you please provide me data that you use to perform mail merge (you can store data to XML file and attach it here). I will investigate this and provide you more information soon.
Best regards.
