Aspose words replace words with mail merge fields c
Aspose.Words allows you to replace words with mail merge fields using its MailMerge
feature. Here's an example of how to do it in C#:
using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.MailMerging;
// Load the template document
Document doc = new Document("template.docx");
// Create a mail merge data source
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
dataTable.Columns.Add("Name");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Address");
// Add data to the data table
dataTable.Rows.Add("John Doe", "123 Main St");
dataTable.Rows.Add("Jane Doe", "456 Elm St");
// Create a mail merge
MailMerge mailMerge = doc.MailMerge;
// Set the data source
mailMerge.DataSource = dataTable;
// Perform the mail merge
mailMerge.Execute();
// Save the output document
doc.Save("output.docx");
In this example, we load a template document (template.docx
) and create a mail merge data source (DataTable
) with two columns: Name
and Address
. We then add some data to the data table.
Next, we create a mail merge object (MailMerge
) and set the data source to the data table. We then perform the mail merge using the Execute()
method.
Finally, we save the output document (output.docx
) using the Save()
method.
In the template document, you can use mail merge fields in the form of {{Name}}
and {{Address}}
. These fields will be replaced with the corresponding values from the data table during the mail merge process.
For example, if your template document contains the following text:
Dear {{Name}},
Your address is {{Address}}.
After performing the mail merge, the output document will contain the following text:
Dear John Doe,
Your address is 123 Main St.
And if you add another row to the data table, the output document will contain the following text:
Dear Jane Doe,
Your address is 456 Elm St.
