Mail Merge in Word with C# and VB.NET

Mail merge is the process of merging or importing data from a data source to a Word document. In essence, the process involves replacing the Field elements of the MergeField type with values from C# or VB.NET objects.

GemBox.Document exposes all mail merge related operations and options through the DocumentModel.MailMerge property.

You can read the full documentation on the Mail Merge help page.

The following example demonstrates how you can perform a simple mail merge by importing data from an anonymous type object.
