Hello Rieni De Rijke,
You can use custom merge fields to achieve such behaviour, as demonstrated in the attached project:
public class CustomMergeField : MergeField
{
private const string CustomFieldName = "CustomField";
static CustomMergeField()
{
CodeBasedFieldFactory.RegisterFieldType(CustomMergeField.CustomFieldName, () => { return new CustomMergeField(); });
}
public override string FieldTypeName
{
get
{
return CustomMergeField.CustomFieldName;
}
}
public override Field CreateInstance()
{
return new CustomMergeField();
}
protected override DocumentFragment GetResultFragment()
{
Customer customer = this.Document.MailMergeDataSource.CurrentItem as Customer;
if (customer == null)
{
return null;
}
if (this.PropertyPath == "Orders")
{
Table table = new Table();
foreach (Order order in customer.Orders)
{
Span span = new Span(order.ProductName);
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
paragraph.Inlines.Add(span);
TableCell cell = new TableCell();
cell.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
TableRow row = new TableRow();
row.Cells.Add(cell);
table.AddRow(row);
}
Section section = new Section();
section.Blocks.Add(table);
RadDocument document = new RadDocument();
document.Sections.Add(section);
document.MeasureAndArrangeInDefaultSize();
return new DocumentFragment(document);
}
return null;
}
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
