A generic purchase order document with a header section and an expanding Word table for detail rows. |
This demo uses the setDataSource and setRepeatBlock methods together. The SetDataSource method is used to assign all of the single-value items to the order header and total sections. A repeat block is defined in the template document around one table row so that the table will automatically expand for every row of data in the order detail query.

// Create an instance of WordTemplate
WordTemplate wt = new WordTemplate();
// Open the template document
string templatePath = @"..\..\WordTemplateFiles\PurchaseOrderTemplate.docx";
wt.Open(templatePath);
// Query the database for header and detail information.
// Set these DataTables as WordTemplate data sources.
DataTable dtHeader = GetOrderHeaderData(@"..\..\WordData\PurchaseOrderDemoHeaderData.csv");
DataTable dtDetail = GetOrderDetailData(@"..\..\WordData\PurchaseOrderDemoDetailData.csv");
wt.SetDataSource(dtHeader);
wt.SetRepeatBlock(dtDetail, "OrderDetailQuery");

// Save the document to the disc
