Merging images is required in many templates: Company logos in invoices,
pictures of employees in HR reports or signature images in letters.
These images can't be part of the template as they have to be merged
dynamically.
With the release of
TX Text Control .NET Server 16.0, the
MailMerge
class comes with this feature out of the box. It is possible to pass an
image path with the merge data or an image can be added dynamically in
the new
ImageFieldMerged event.
Image fields are regular merge fields with a special format:
'image:'
is the identifier followed by the name of this field. In this sample,
all image fields are merged with the same image in the ImageFieldMerged
event:
void mailMerge_ImageFieldMerged(object sender,
TXTextControl.DocumentServer.MailMerge.ImageFieldMergedEventArgs e)
{
if (pictureBox1.Image == null)
return;
// add the image from the PictureBox
TXTextControl.Image img = new TXTextControl.Image(pictureBox1.Image);
e.Image = img;
}
