The “Next IF” scenario is not supported by WebTextEditor 1 in current build version.

I have submitted this valuable feedback as feature request to WebTextEditor development team. A task, Task #751, has been created in WebTextEditor enhancement list. The team will check the feasibility to implement this feature in the next upcoming build of WebTextEditor.

Should I hear any news regarding Task #751, you’ll be the first person I contact.

Thanks you Yudi, this project start correctly after adding

DataMember="DefaultView"

I can now add merge field and retrieve data from a data base, it works perfectly.

For my use case discussed previously i've got à simple question.

My document will be complex and i need to use the 'MS Word rules' for the mail merge. (the NEXT IF in the MS Word mailmerge is very important for us)

Screencapture of the rules : http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8373/prtscrcapturew.jpg

Do you think i'ts possible with WebTextEditor ?

Please try to set the value “DataMember” property of WebTextEditor to “DefaultView”.

<ISWebTextEditor:WebTextEditor ID="WebTextEditor1" runat="server" Height="600px"
    Width="700px" Content="" DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1" MaximumSize="0, 0"
    MinimumSize="0, 0" DataMember="DefaultView">
    ...
</ISWebTextEditor:WebTextEditor>

I have tested this solution on my local tester machine and found no problems happen. Please let us know whether this helps or not.

I test the issue, which header will be repeated with every customer data no, but my effort was not successful.

I’m willing to advise you further but in order to do so I would need you to elaborate on your specific scenario and possibly give us a running simple sample that replicates the issue or a step-by-step guide that we can use to observe the problematic behavior.

In your example, the header will be repeated with every customers data no ?

There is an example :

http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2697/prtscrcapture5.jpg

The Fig.1 and Fig.2 represent what i need for two pages for example. Note that the rows are generated automaticatly whith the datasource.

The Fig.3 represent the merge fields i will use (i think a kind like this).

Is it correct ?

The Fig.4 represent a second document with information about the first parent and their childs.

We can see the First and Last name and a list of his childs after. Is it possible to do this with your WebTextEditor

You can have WebTextEditor Mail Merge feature to have table with one header like first name, last name, and list after customers. All you need to do is as follow: first, you’ll need to create the table structure; then fill in the table header caption text; last, followed by entering the mail merge first name and last name label on the correct column.

The snippet code of the html structure is as follow.

<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Last Name</td>
            <td>First Name</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><span style="background-color: whitesmoke" type="mailmerge">{LastName}</span></td>
            <td><span style="background-color: whitesmoke" type="mailmerge">{FirstName}</span></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Could you please kindly explain us in detail about the second scenario? “Need to create documents for the parents with their childs.”

Look forward for your response.

Hi,

I've a question about the merge mail fonctionnality with your WebTextEditor.

In my web application i want to allow user to create unique docuemnt with mail merge.

I would like toknow something, your online demo is great but i want to konw if the mail merge is able to create tables with one headers like "Frist name", "Last name" and list after customers for example.

A second example, i need to create documents for the parents with their childs. I page by legal parent with the list of his childs.

Can i do this with your WebTextEditor ?

Thanks
