Intro

Excerpt

Use the new features of the WordTemplate object to create feature-rich reports that were previously only possible with many lines of code.

This sample uses nested repeat blocks to produce a report very much like the Word Application Product Catalog sample, but with many fewer lines of code. Instead of using many database queries and manually constructing each piece of the report, this sample uses two queries and binds them to a template that builds the entire report.

Emulate a Word mail merge using WordTemplate, featuring new nested repeat block technology.  A document will be created with each recipient's letter on a new page, complete with a nested table of orders. Take care of all of your mail merge production with one print job.


Letters will be created for a selection of customers in the database.  This demo uses Nested Repeat Blocksthat signal WordTemplate to only repeat specific sections of the document when appropriate. This way we can create complex documents with dynamically generated tables with only a single database query and one call to SetRepeatBlock.

Note that using nested repeat blocks is only supported by using Office 2007 (docx) files.
