MergeField
The MergeField Object
This class represents a merge field in a document. Merge fields are used
in WordWriter templates as data placeholders. To create a merge field, use
Element.InsertMergeFieldBefore() or
Element.InsertMergeFieldAfter().
The following sample demonstrates creating a merge field at the end of
a new document and retrieving the first merge field of an existing document.
Examples:
[csharp]
// Insert a merge field at the end of a new document
WordApplication app = new WordApplication();
Document doc = app.Create();
MergeField mfield = doc.InsertMergeFieldAfter("FieldName", "FieldName");
// Get the first merge field of an existing document
WordApplication app = new WordApplication();
Document doc = app.Open(@"C:\sample.doc");
MergeField firstMergeField = doc.Elements(Element.Type.MergeField)[0];
[vbnet]
' Insert a merge field at the end of a new document
Dim app As New WordApplication()
Dim doc As Document = app.Create()
Dim mfield As Field = doc.InsertMergeFieldAfter("FieldName", "FieldName")
' Get the first merge field of an existing document
Dim app As New WordApplication()
Dim doc As Document = app.Open("C:\sample.doc")
Dim firstMergeField As MergeField = doc.Elements(Element.Type.MergeField)(0)
