Hi.
I see your code sample how to use MailMerge if you have the EXISTING DOCX template with fields inside.

But my task is create mailmerge fields, fill them in, save in docx/pdf as a result.

Hi,

Try using these:

...
new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "Name", "")
...
new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "Description", "")

Does this solve your issue?

Hey Mario.
Could you show me how to create a table with MergeFields inside by C# code using Gembox.Document?

Hi,

Try this:

var document = new DocumentModel();
var section = new Section(document);
document.Sections.Add(section);

var table = new Table(document, 2, 2);
table.TableFormat.PreferredWidth = new TableWidth(100, TableWidthUnit.Percentage);
section.Blocks.Add(table);

table.Rows[0].Cells[0].Blocks.Add(
    new Paragraph(document,
        new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "RangeStart:Table1"),
        new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "Name")));

table.Rows[1].Cells[0].Blocks.Add(
    new Paragraph(document,
        new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "Bla")));

table.Rows[1].Cells[1].Blocks.Add(
    new Paragraph(document,
        new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "Description"),
        new Field(document, FieldType.MergeField, "RangeEnd:Table1")));

var source = new
{
    Table1 = new[]
    {
        new { Name = "Name1", Bla = "Bla1", Description = "Description1" },
        new { Name = "Name2", Bla = "Bla2", Description = "Description2" },
        new { Name = "Name3", Bla = "Bla3", Description = "Description3" }
    }
};

document.MailMerge.Execute(source);

document.Save("output.docx");

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Mario
