InfoPath Dev

 Hi,

I have a problem when trying to submit an Infopath  form.The scenario is as follows:

I have an infopath form which talks to SQL server via a webservice to query and submit data. 

I have SQL server 2005 database which has a table for services provided  for a given studentID. Fileds and the data types of the table are : studentID(int) | service1(bit) |Service2(bit) | Service3(bit) | service_count (int).

The 3 services contain the value of 'True' or 'False' depending on whether they are checked or not in the infopath form .The service_count field gives the total count of services selected in each row.

The C# code for the insert  looks like this:

this.sqlInsertCommand3.CommandText = "INSERT INTO [Services] ([studentID], [service1], [service2], [service3], [service" +
            "_count]) VALUES (@studentID, @service1, @service2, @service3, @service_count)";
        this.sqlInsertCommand3.Connection = this.sqlConnection1;
        this.sqlInsertCommand3.Parameters.AddRange(new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter[] {
            new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@studentID", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int, 0, "studentID"),
            new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@service1", System.Data.SqlDbType.Bit, 0, "service1"),
            new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@service2", System.Data.SqlDbType.Bit, 0, "service2"),
            new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@service3", System.Data.SqlDbType.Bit, 0, "service3"),
            new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@service_count", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int, 0, "service_count")});
      

Now when I create the infopath form and insert the nodes ,the service fields have the data type of "unsignedByte".

I add rule to the field service_count in the form as sum(service1|service2|service3)

Now when I submit the form I get the error as follows :

>Infopath cannot submit the form 

> The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:

 There must be some type mismatch in the datatypes i the sql server and infopath. however when I change the datatype as tinyint  in SQL server and boolean in the infopath form ,I am able to submit.

How can I fix this problem. I want to retain the datatype for the service fields as bit in SQL server.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hello, 

I found the problem to be with the field Service_count, which failed to convert the boolean values to a number. I retained the datatype for the 3 services in the SQL database as "bit"  and service_count as "int"  and in the form I have the 3 services inserted  as " boolean" fields, and default values for the services to be "True/False".

I used the formula for service_count as :   number(contains(service1, "true")) + number(contains(service2, "true")) + number(contains(service3, "true")) .,which works as I intended it to.

Cheers.
