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 shows how you can perform a simple mail merge by importing data from an anonymous type object.
using System;
using GemBox.Document;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// If using Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
var document = DocumentModel.Load("%InputFileName%");
// Create data source for mail merge process.
var data = new
{
Number = 10203,
Date = DateTime.Now,
Company = "ACME Corp",
Address = "240 Old Country Road, Springfield, IL",
Country = "USA",
FullName = "Joe Smith"
};
// Execute mail merge process.
document.MailMerge.Execute(data);
document.Save("Mail Merge Output.%OutputFileType%");
}
}Imports System
Imports GemBox.Document
Module Program
Sub Main()
' If using Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY")
Dim document = DocumentModel.Load("%InputFileName%")
' Create data source for mail merge process.
Dim data = New With
{
.Number = 10203,
.Date = DateTime.Now,
.Company = "ACME Corp",
.Address = "240 Old Country Road, Springfield, IL",
.Country = "USA",
.FullName = "Joe Smith"
}
' Execute mail merge process.
document.MailMerge.Execute(data)
document.Save("Mail Merge Output.%OutputFileType%")
End Sub
End Module
