Dear Sir / Madam,

I have an appointment letter formation in mail merge aspose. Based on some conditions which are string conditions few paragraphs will be seen otherwise not. For E.g If I belong to Senior Management Grade then I am going to be benefit with few Allowances which are mentioned in points. If I dont belong to Senior Management Grade I should not see that points at all. How can i check for String conditions in aspose.

Can any one help in solving my problem.

It is urgent.....

Eagerly waiting for reply

Thanks & Regards

Geeta

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. I think that you can achieve this using MergeField event handler. For example see the following code:

 

public void Test()

{

    //Open template

    Document doc = new Document("in.doc");

    //Add MergeField event handler

    doc.MailMerge.MergeField += new MergeFieldEventHandler(MailMerge_MergeField);

    //Execute mail merge

    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(table);

    //Save output document

    doc.Save("out.doc");

 

}

void MailMerge_MergeField(object sender, MergeFieldEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.FieldName == "myField")

    {

        //Here you can insert your condition logic

        //and do something with document

    }

}

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. Here is code example how you can perform mail merge with regions and use MergeField event handler. Also see attached template.

 

Dim mCurrentName As String

 

Sub Main()

 

    Dim lic As Aspose.Words.License = New Aspose.Words.License()

    lic.SetLicense("Aspose.Words.lic")

 

    Dim table As New DataTable("MyTable")

    table.Columns.Add("Name")

    table.Columns.Add("Option1")

    table.Columns.Add("Option2")

    table.Columns.Add("Option3")

    table.Columns.Add("Option4")

    table.Columns.Add("Option5")

    Dim noRep As Integer = 0

    For i As Integer = 0 To 4

        noRep = i

        table.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Alexey" & i.ToString(), "Option1", "Option2", "Option3", "Option4", "Option5"})

    Next

    'Open template document

    Dim doc As New Document("in.doc")

    'Add MergeField event handler

    AddHandler doc.MailMerge.MergeField, AddressOf HandleMergeField

    'Execute mail merge with regions

    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(table)

    'Save output document

    doc.Save("out.doc")

 

End Sub

 

Sub HandleMergeField(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Aspose.Words.Reporting.MergeFieldEventArgs)

 

    'Here you can place your conditional logic

    If (e.FieldName = "Name") Then

        mCurrentName = e.FieldValue

    Else

        If (e.FieldName = "Option1" And mCurrentName = "Alexey0") Then

            e.Field.Remove() 'dont show Option1 if name is Alexey0

        End If

 

    End If

End Sub
