Manipulating MergeField Codebehind

[Raimund]

Hello,

does someone knows a way how to access and change a value of a MergeField in codebehind?
I dont want to bind this Object to a datasource - the functionality should be like this

mergeField["Name"] = "Raimund Rittnauer";

To create new MergeFields and fill them with custom values.

Maybe someone knows how I can use MergeFields in this way.

Best regards,
Raimund

Hi Raimund,

    Do you need to do this multiple times or just one time at startup ? If you just need to do it one time at the beginning I might be able to help you. 
    Basically what I do is create a list of Dictionary<string,string> in which and then using reflection create a type(the type has properties with the names of the keys in the dictionary) and then a list of objects of that type(one new instance of the type for each Dictionary) and then feed that list tot he ItemsSource.
 
If this helps I can send you the code.

Alex.

Hello Alex,
Evaluatation of merge fields values is performed within the MailMerge method of RadDocument or RadRichTextBox, using the values from RadDocument.MailMergeDataSource.ItemsSorce; it cannot be done without setting the ItemsSource.
