DOC Document Generation with Mail Merge in C#

Wordize for .NET is a professional solution for automated creation of personalized DOC documents using Mail Merge technology. The MailMerger class enables C# developers to merge ready-made document templates with data from various sources for bulk generation of personalized DOC invoices, contracts, reports, and letters.

Wordize for .NET provides the ability to use Mail Merge technology with templates in any supported formats. This allows creating personalized DOC documents regardless of the original template format.

Functional Capabilities:

Simple document population - the Execute() method generates personalized DOC documents by merging ready-made templates with external data sources
Dynamic content generation - the ExecuteWithRegions() method processes repeating template elements to create tables and lists of variable length in DOC format
Integration with various data sources - support for DataRow, DataTable, DataSet types, value arrays
Advanced settings - the MailMergeOptions class manages document generation parameters: removing empty paragraphs, unused regions and fields, trimming excess spaces, merging duplicate regions, and other parameters
Export to graphic format capability - the ExecuteToImages() method returns results as a set of images
Fluent API support for launching generation through MailMergerContext and method chaining, adding clarity to C# code

Use Case Scenarios:

Bulk mailing of personalized letters and notifications with individual recipient data
Creating personalized DOC invoices, contracts, and proposals with information specific to each client
Generating DOC documents from ready-made forms: certificates, references, invitations with personal data
Automated creation of uniform DOC documents with different content based on databases

Test the capabilities of programmatic generation of personalized documents using Mail Merge technology in the interactive online demo presented on this page. Upload a document template, a text file with data (CSV, JSON, XML), run the operation, and download the generated result for verification. The provided C# code snippet is fully ready for use in your .NET project.
