Demo Code For Group Mail Merge Is Not Working

[timo.loehr]

Hi, so I copied the code from the tutorial "Creating Mail Merge for a group in C#" but it is not working for me

Code: Select all

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Product p1 = new Product(1, "Software", "Spire.Doc", "$799", "E-iceblue", "April 28th,2018");
            Product p2 = new Product(2, "Software", "Spire.PDF", "$599", "E-iceblue", "September 15th,2017");

            List<Product> list = new List<Product>();
            list.Add(p1);
            list.Add(p2);

            Document document = new Document("ProductsList.docx");

            MailMergeDataTable table = new MailMergeDataTable("Products", list);
            document.MailMerge.ExecuteGroup(table);

            document.SaveToFile("Output.docx");
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.docx");
        }
    }


    public class Product
    {
        public Product(int number, string type, string name, string price, string vendor, string expirydate)
        {
            this.number = number;
            this.type = type;
            this.name = name;
            this.price = price;
            this.vendor = vendor;
            this.expirydate = expirydate;
        }

        int number;
        string type, name, price, vendor, expirydate;
    }

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Based on our internal merging mechanism, the "Product" Class and its attributes have to be public, please refer to the following modified code to try again. Any question, just feel free to contact us.

Code: Select all

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Product p1 = new Product(1, "Software", "Spire.Doc", "$799", "E-iceblue", "April 28th,2018");
            Product p2 = new Product(2, "Software", "Spire.PDF", "$599", "E-iceblue", "September 15th,2017");

            List<Product> list = new List<Product>();
            list.Add(p1);
            list.Add(p2);

            Document document = new Document("ProductsList.docx");

            MailMergeDataTable table = new MailMergeDataTable("Products", list);
            document.MailMerge.ExecuteGroup(table);

            document.SaveToFile("Output.docx");
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.docx");
        }
    }


    public class Product
    {
        public Product(int number, string type, string name, string price, string vendor, string expirydate)
        {
            this.number = number;
            this.type = type;
            this.name = name;
            this.price = price;
            this.vendor = vendor;
            this.expirydate = expirydate;
        }

        public int number { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string price { get; set; }
        public string vendor { get; set; }
        public string expirydate { get; set; }
    }
