Hi Louai,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Essential DocIO provides support to insert an image to the Word document using Mail merge. You can achieve this by creating a template (Input) Word document which contains the merge field with prefix “Image:” and perform Mail merge using Essential DocIO. It will populate the retrieved data (image from datasource) in the corresponding merge fields during Mail merge.

The following screenshot shows how to insert a merge filed with prefix “Image:” in the Word document by using the Microsoft Word.


We have prepared a sample to meet your requirement. Please find the sample from the following link, and let us know if it helps you.

Hi Louai,

Thank you for your update.

On further analyzing with provided Word document, we suspect your requirement is to execute Mail merge in nested group but the input template which you have used do not having nested group for the provided DataTable values.

We have modified your input template Word document to meet your requirement with below code snippet modifications. Please find the input template from here, and let us know if this helps you.

Code snippet:
 
WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument("Template.docx");
MailMergeDataSet dataSet = new MailMergeDataSet();
MailMergeDataTable dataTable = new MailMergeDataTable("Persons", GetPerson());
dataSet.Add(dataTable);
dataTable = new MailMergeDataTable("Languages", GetLanguage());
dataSet.Add(dataTable);
List<DictionaryEntry> commands = new List<DictionaryEntry>();
DictionaryEntry entry = new DictionaryEntry("Persons", string.Empty);
commands.Add(entry);
entry = new DictionaryEntry("Languages", string.Empty);
commands.Add(entry);
wordDocument.MailMerge.ExecuteNestedGroup(dataSet, commands);
wordDocument.Save("Sample.docx");
 

If we misunderstand any of your requirement, then kindly update us requirement with sample for clear description along with Input document and screenshot/output Word document of the expected result which will helpful to provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
