MailMerge NullReferenceException

[Gernot Gutschi]

Hi,

I'm using the simple MailMerge example of your help pages (where I replaced Template.docx through my own template file). The given fieldNames do exist in the word template. 

WordDocument document = new WordDocument(filename);
string[] fieldNames = new string[] { "Emp_Id", "Name", "Phone", "City" };
string[] fieldValues = new string[] { "1001", "Peter", "[phone]", "London" };

//Performs the mail merge.
document.MailMerge.Execute(fieldNames, fieldValues);

//Saves and closes the WordDocument instance
document.Save("Sample.docx", FormatType.Docx);
document.Close();

I'm getting a NullReferenceException at the "Execute" statement (StackTrace: "at Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WField.UpdateFieldRange()"). Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Best wishes
Gernot

Hi,

if I use your example and the attached Word file, I get the mentioned exception.

I also have another question (not sure if I should start a new thread for it):

Is mail merge with groups not supported in UWP?
