How to Use Document Variable (DOCVARIABLE) Fields to Insert Dynamic Content

The following example illustrates how to use the DOCVARIABLE field and the Document.CalculateDocVariable event to insert dynamic content in a document.

In this example, a variable name specified in the DOCVARIABLE indicates a choice between location and weather, while the location itself is specified by the field argument.

Note: We do not provide a code sample to retrieve weather information. You can implement a custom weather information provider.

The MailMergeRecordStarted event is handled to insert a hidden document's creation date.

The MyProgressIndicatorService class is implemented and registered as a service to use the ProgressBar control.
