Examples

Shows how to perform a mail merge on QR barcodes.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a MERGEBARCODE field, which will accept values from a data source during a mail merge.
// This field will convert all values in a merge data source's "MyQRCode" column into QR codes.
FieldMergeBarcode field = (FieldMergeBarcode)builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldMergeBarcode, true);
field.BarcodeType = "QR";
field.BarcodeValue = "MyQRCode";

// Apply custom colors and scaling.
field.BackgroundColor = "0xF8BD69";
field.ForegroundColor = "0xB5413B";
field.ErrorCorrectionLevel = "3";
field.ScalingFactor = "250";
field.SymbolHeight = "1000";
field.SymbolRotation = "0";

Assert.AreEqual(FieldType.FieldMergeBarcode, field.Type);
Assert.AreEqual(" MERGEBARCODE  MyQRCode QR \\b 0xF8BD69 \\f 0xB5413B \\q 3 \\s 250 \\h 1000 \\r 0",
    field.GetFieldCode());
builder.Writeln();

// Create a DataTable with a column with the same name as our MERGEBARCODE field's BarcodeValue.
// The mail merge will create a new page for each row. Each page will contain a DISPLAYBARCODE field,
// which will display a QR code with the value from the merged row.
DataTable table = new DataTable("Barcodes");
table.Columns.Add("MyQRCode");
table.Rows.Add(new[] { "ABC123" });
table.Rows.Add(new[] { "DEF456" });

doc.MailMerge.Execute(table);

Assert.AreEqual(FieldType.FieldDisplayBarcode, doc.Range.Fields[0].Type);
Assert.AreEqual("DISPLAYBARCODE \"ABC123\" QR \\q 3 \\s 250 \\h 1000 \\r 0 \\b 0xF8BD69 \\f 0xB5413B", 
    doc.Range.Fields[0].GetFieldCode());
Assert.AreEqual(FieldType.FieldDisplayBarcode, doc.Range.Fields[1].Type);
Assert.AreEqual("DISPLAYBARCODE \"DEF456\" QR \\q 3 \\s 250 \\h 1000 \\r 0 \\b 0xF8BD69 \\f 0xB5413B",
