Mail merge fields within IF fieldcode in DocIO for v20.2 and above

[HARIKRISHNAN MP]

Hi, 

Need a workaround for Merge fields in the IF field expression. Not sure whether DocIO currently process the merge fields within the fieldcode of If fields. 

There is a similar thread - https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/121128/if-conditions-in-mailmerge-template?reply=lEp3NS , but this not compatible with latest versions. 

If anyone has a solution, kindly share. 

Thanks & Regards, 

Hari

Hi Hari,

Essential DocIO library process the merge fields within the field code of If fields.

From v16.1.0.24, we have migrated the field to the new structure. So, you have faced the problem in that old sample code example which has the old field structure.

Please refer the below link to know more about this migration,

We have prepared the sample application in the latest version to process the merge fields within the field code of If fields as per your requirement and it can be downloaded from the below link.

Hi Anto, 

Thanks for your input. The sample works perfect. 

Further to your sample, If I may ask - what can be done to include merge fields as a true or false statement in the IF field. 

i.e. { IF 1=1 <<MergeField>> False } - I want to show the true expression as a merge field value.
