Hi Telerik,

Any updates on this? nested mail merge and conditions are essential for our approach. This will mean we will need to look for another component otherwise.

Kind regards,

Alex

Tanya,

Thanks for the update. Do you know if WordProcessing has been used to replace MS InfoPath Templates?

Hello,

I too am interested in an update on the nested mail merge table. Is there an estimate on when it will be deployed?

Thanks,

Joe  

Nested Mail Merge feature available in Telerik?

Hi Ole Oscar Johnsen, 

Would you be willing to share the solution you have written so far?   What if we built a common project on github and started to develop a solution that we could all share?

It would be nice to implement this feature.

At the moment we have created a custom solution where we are using the \v character in the string to indicate to insert a vertical break in the table cell.
That's the addition we have done. Perhaps you have a better solution to do this like for example an event where we can adjust the value to insert what ever we want or something else.

Here is a snippet of code that we have done.

                        string[] stringArrray = ((string)value).Split('\v');
                        bool first = true;
                        foreach (string str in stringArrray)
                        {
                            if (first == false)
                            {
                                Break br = new Break(mailMergeDocument);
                                paragraph.Inlines.Insert(num, br);
                                num++;
                            }

                            Run run = new Run(mailMergeDocument);
                            run.Properties.CopyPropertiesFrom(characterFormattingFromFirstRunInRange);
                            run.Text = str;
                            paragraph.Inlines.Insert(num, run);
                            first = false;
                            num++;
                        }

It would also been nice if if we can attach an event to adjust the document/value when writing values.
At the moment we have created our own mail merge using you library, and to support table merge we insert an line break to every element to support a very simple dynamic table merge.
