cannot convert from RadDocument to RadFixedDocument

I am trying to save the results of mail merge as a PDF, but I am getting a compiler error.

cannot convert from RadDocument to RadFixedDocument

Is there a way around it? Here's my code

using (SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog())

{

dialog.Filter = "PDF (*.pdf)|*.pdf";

dialog.FilterIndex = 2;

dialog.RestoreDirectory = true;

if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

var provider = new PdfFormatProvider();

radRichTextEditor1.Document.MailMergeDataSource.ItemsSource = LetterService.GetEmployersMailMergeSource();

using (Stream output = File.Create(dialog.FileName))

{

//error here

provider.Export(radRichTextEditor1.Document.MailMerge(), output);

}

I want to be able to create templates in the UI, and then export PDFs using mailmerge. Are there any good examples?

I want to give application admins to create new templates. Something like

Hello <LastName>, <FirstName>. You owe us <AmountOwed>. Please mail a check to <Address>.

I spend some time research, and it appears that it's doable using RichTextEditor and MailMerge. However, I can't seem to find an ability for the user to actually create a template through a GUI. What am I missing?

Dear sirs,

I have data source in format of List<Dictionary<string,object>>. Can I bind the data to RadGridView.DataSource?

If it is not, can I extend some classes to do that?

Can't seem to make FieldDisplayMode.DisplayName work correctly

I am trying to create a template editor for making letters for mailing.
I open up a new form with a RadRichTextEditor and an Editor Ribbon, and then assign a MailMergeDataSource.ItemsSource.
I add a few fields to the documents, and then use a DocxFormatProvider to get a byte[]
That array goes into an event with a Letter object inside. The event handler code is below.
All I want to do, is reload that byte[] into a different RadRichTextEditor, and then display the mailmerge fields like this <<MyCustomField>> and ideally highlight it. Instead, it's just displaying data from the ItemsSource. Below is the code that I think is relevant

private void LetterEditor_TemplateSaved(object sender, TemplateSavedEventArgs templateSavedEventArgs)

{

var provider = new DocxFormatProvider();

var doc = provider.Import(templateSavedEventArgs.Letter.LetterByteArray);

radRichTextEditor1.Document = doc;

radRichTextEditor1.Document.ShowMergeFieldsHighlight = true;

radRichTextEditor1.Document.FieldsDisplayMode = Telerik.WinForms.Documents.Model.FieldDisplayMode.DisplayName;

}

Keep Selected Row Backcolor when changing row backcolor

I have the RadGrid properly changing the row backcolor based on the value of one column by utilizing the RowFormatting event handler, but this causes the selected row backcolor to no longer be the normal blue. Is there a way to set the row backcolor without effecting the selected row backcolor?

Thanks,

Change Cursor on Cell Mouse Enter, Mouse Leave

As there is no event for Cell Mouse Enter or Cell Mouse Leave for a GridView, What event can I use to change the Mouse Cursor when the mouse hovers over a specific Cell?

I tried using the CellFormatting event to no avail.

01.Private Sub dgvVenItems_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles dgvVenItems.CellFormatting

02. Dim font As New System.Drawing.Font(SystemFonts.DialogFont, FontStyle.Underline)

03.

04. If e.CellElement.ColumnIndex = 0 Then

05. e.CellElement.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue

06. e.CellElement.Font = font

07. dgvVenItems.Cursor = Cursors.Hand

08. Else

09. e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.ForeColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)

10. dgvVenItems.Cursor = Cursors.Default

11. End If

12.End Sub
