Mail Merge & DataSets

Hi,

how can I use a dataset (as my datasource) to perform a Word Mail Merge?
maybe methods like wrdMailMerge.OpenDataSource()!? or
wrdMailMerge.DataSource...!? could help but I don't know how to do it.
a simple example could realy help.
Thanks

You will likely want to do the actual merge on client side. You will need to
pass the dataset down to the client in a way that can be consumed by MS
Word. This article is for classic asp but you can get the idea and apply it
to asp.net:
