InfoPath Dev

Can someone explain me, what is "thisXDocument" in C# code of infopath form. When I create an event handler (for example "OnLoad") I don`t see any thisXDocument object !!! Need I create it ???

When you create a C# project, InfoPath and Visual Studio add some code by default to formcode.cs that defines this variable.

Below source of my formcode.cs...
I don`t see any thisXDocument...
I use MS Visual Studio 2005 and Infopath 2007...
Maybe there some another interface? If so, are there some docs about this ???

// Source of formcode.cs
using Microsoft.Office.InfoPath;
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
using System.Net.Mail;

namespace temp
{
public partial class FormCode
{
// Member variables are not supported in browser-enabled forms.
// Instead, write and read these values from the FormState
// dictionary using code such as the following:
//
// private object _memberVariable
// {
// get
// {
// return FormState["_memberVariable"];
// }
// set
// {
// FormState["_memberVariable"] = value;
// }
// }

// NOTE: The following procedure is required by Microsoft Office InfoPath.
// It can be modified using Microsoft Office InfoPath.
public void InternalStartup()
{

}
}
}

Hi,
XDocument contains an XDocument object for each Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 form that is currently open. The XDocument object represents a form's underlying XML document and can be used to interact with the XML data that a form contains. and this XDocument object can be used in any number of forms and to identify this we alias it as thisXDocument in the present InfoPath form we are using.

Hope this help you!

Ok. Thanks. But where can I get a reference to this object in my case?

Hi,
This you can see it in MS Visual Studio 2003 and Infopath 2005 by default but not in MS Visual Studio 2005 and Infopath 2007 but we can define it explicitly even in this to call any single node or DOM...

Hope this helps you!

can we access xdocument of a different form from the current form?

Actually i need to submit DATA of a form to another form ( with a different form template)

How can i achive it?

Thanks

Greg did a sample once that did this, but I believe it requires starting one form from within the other and passing the XDocument pointer to it as part of the start up parameters. Then you can communicate back and forth between them. You will need code to do this.

Hey Patrick, thanks for the reply

I have a detailed description of my problem here: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/10373/37159.aspx#37159

Any suggestions?
