Examples

[VBScript]

Dim RS
Set RS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
RS.Open _
    "SELECT * FROM AsposeWordOrderDetails WHERE OrderId = 10444 ORDER BY ProductID", _
    "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Northwind.mdb"

Dim Helper
Set Helper = CreateObject("Aspose.Words.ComHelper")

Dim Doc
Set Doc = Helper.Open("Invoice.doc")

Doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegionsADO RS, "OrderDetails"
Doc.Save "Invoice Out VBScript.doc"

Shows how to run a mail merge with multiple regions, compiled with data from an ADO dataset.

public void ExecuteWithRegionsADO()

    // which is included in the .NET distribution and stored in "adodb.dll".
    ADODB.Connection connection = new ADODB.Connection();

    // Create a connection string that points to the "Northwind" database file
    // in our local file system and open a connection.
    string connectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + DatabaseDir + "Northwind.accdb";
    connection.Open(connectionString);

    // Populate our DataSet by running an SQL command on our database.
    // The names of the columns in the result table will need to correspond
    // to the values of the MERGEFIELDS that will accommodate our data.
    string command = "SELECT FirstName, LastName, City FROM Employees";

    ADODB.Recordset recordset = new ADODB.Recordset();
    recordset.Open(command, connection);

    // Run a mail merge on just the first region, filling its MERGEFIELDS with data from the record set.
    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegionsADO(recordset, "MergeRegion1");

    // Close the record set and reopen it with data from another SQL query.
    command = "SELECT * FROM Customers";

    recordset.Close();
    recordset.Open(command, connection);

    // Run a second mail merge on the second region and save the document.
    doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegionsADO(recordset, "MergeRegion2");

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegionsADO.docx");
