[Solved] 2011 Q2 Mail Merge examples?

[Quincy]

Hi,

I can't seem to find any examples of the mail merge feature in the new release and there's no mention of this feature in the documentation.

Can you provide some examples on how to use this feature.

Thanks.

[Quincy]

Don't worry, had a look in the code of the RichTextBox demo app.

Thanks.

Hello Quincy,

Please excuse us for the missing documentation for this new feature; we are actively working on it. Data source that mail merge uses can be set by the MailMergeDataSource.ItemsSource property:

this.radRichTextBox.Document.MailMergeDataSource.ItemsSource = new List<Employee>() {...};

The merge fields can be inserted in the document using one of the overloads of the InsertField method of RadRichTextBox or RadDocument:

this.radRichTextBox.InsertField(new MergeField() { PropertyPath = "FirstName" });

Greetings,
Boby
