Nested MailMerge with Plain Objects

[valentas]

I have word document like this

«BeginGroup:Elements»

«Seller.Name»

«EndGroup:Elements»

My object is like this

var invoice = new Invoice();

invoice.Seller = new InvoiceSeller();

invoice.Seller.Name = "John";

var mailObject = new MailObject();

mailObject.Elements.Add(invoice);

I merge like this

var dataTable = new MailMergeDataTable("Elements", mailObject.Elements);

var document = new WordDocument(wordFileStream, FormatType.Automatic);

var document.MailMerge.ExecuteNestedGroup(dataTable);

And when i checked word there are no info in word. 

How to select nested object property?

Hi Valentas,

From the given details, we have found that your requirement is to perform nested mail merge with plain objects using DocIO.

We have prepared the sample application to meet your requirement and it can be downloaded from the below attachment.

Please refer our UG documentation link to know more about nested mail merge for group,

Not exactly. In you example you merge with object>objects>objects.

I want to merger object>object.otherobject.name.

Just change your example word to

«BeginGroup:Elements»

«BeginGroup:Invoices»«Seller.Name»«EndGroup:Invoices»

«EndGroup:Elements»

and class to

 public class Invoice

    {

        private Seller seller;

        public Seller Seller

        {

            get { return seller; }

            set { seller = value; }

        }

        public Invoice(Seller sellers)

        {

            Seller = sellers;

        }

    }

I am not sure if it is even possible merge with nested objects.

Hi Valentas,

Thanks for your details. It is not feasible to merge nested objects as like given structure (Seller.Name). We suggest you to modify the template and data source structure to merge the data as we mentioned in the previous update.
