Mail merge with check box form field

[Arturo Buonanni]

Is it possible to have a check box form field inside a document whose state (checked/uncheckd) is bound to a database merge field?
I need the checkbox form field to survive the merge process and be presente in the output document so that the document user may change the checkbox state if needed.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Arturo,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

We could not able to perform mail merge with check box form field in the document because mail merge operation can be done using table column name and mail merge field name.

We have prepared the sample for changing the check box state during mail merge operation using Essential DOCIO.

Please do find the sample from the attachment. Try running the sample and let us know if this helps you.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I've examined your sample and found it very userfull.
If I understand it well, you have attached a new event hander to the MailMerge event in wich you set the checkbox state based on the text to be put in "Choice1" MailMerege fields.
This will work but will also fill the mail merge field "Choice1" in the final document. Am I correct?
How do I remove the "Choice1" field from the result (it's useless as it would be a duplicate of the checkbox)?

Hi Arturo,

Thank you for your update.

We have modified the sample to remove duplicate "Choice1" field from result by checking the FiledName property of MergeFieldEventArgs in the mailmerge event. Please do find the sample from the attachment. Try running the sample and let us know if this helps you.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
