Dynamic mergefield names

I'm trying to create a dynamic mail merge field as documented here: http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.words-for-.net/field-update.html

but I'm not getting very far.

My merge field looks like this:

{ MERGEFIELD { IF { MERGEFIELD Test } = "Test" "Field1" "Field2" } }

And my code is

doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[] { "Test", "Field1", "Field2" }, new object[] { "Test", "True", "False" });

But it's not being replaced (i.e. I'd expect the whole thing to be replaced with "True"). What am I doing wrong/not doing?

Filed under: conditional field;merge

Re: Dynamic mergefield names

Thanks for your request. As I can see all works as expected, let me clarify:

doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[] { "Test", "Field1", "Field2" }, new object[] { "Test", "True", "False" });

IF Test = Test -> Field1 and replaced by True

doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[] { "Test", "Field1", "Field2" }, new object[] { "whatever", "True", "False" });

IF whatever = Test -> Field2 and replaced by False

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
