InfoPath Dev

I would like to create a button that saves the form to a specific path and then closes the form.

Does anybody know how to do this in C#?

Thanks,

this.save("path and location");

this.close();

but this does not work for browser enabled forms.

I tried this with the following code:

this.close();

But I got the following errors.

Error 1-- The best overloaded method match for 'eFileroom_3_13_10.FormCode.Save_OnClick(Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.DocActionEvent)' has some invalid arguments           

Error 2—Argument '1': cannot convert from 'string' to 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.DocActionEvent'    

Error 3—'eFileroom_3_13_10.FormCode' does not contain a definition for 'close'

 In InfoPath 2003 code, it would be: 

this.thisXDocument.SaveAs(@"C:\Users\Lawson\Documents\Saved Forms\" + formName);
this.thisApplication.Quit(true);

Above, I've used formName as a placeholder for the form name.  You'll need to come up with a way of uniquely naming the forms.

Thanks Jimmy,

Can I use the now() function for the formName to uniquely name the form?

-Lawson

 You can use DateTime.Now.ToString("s") to get the current date and time in the format 2010-03-16T23:34:14, which has a pretty good chance of being unique.

 Thanks, I'll try this.

How can I get the current name of the form and combine it with the DateTime.Now.ToString("s")?

I think this will give it the best chance at being unique.

I looked high and low, trying to figure how to implement this. Dateime.now.tostring("s")

Took three days of searching and reading, since I am not a VB guru, most of the stuff was hard to understand and bieng on a deadline...  well

For those that need a nice random filename generator. I give you what it use, it isnot pretty. but if you want to save pdf without over writing previous and not asking use to put in a name

this will work everytime.

Here is the code. Hope it helps someone.

  button is pressed it will generate an filename without the :33 which the file systems hates. how to use the system clock to give me a number to append to the filename

two lines

x As DateTime = Date.Now

x1 As String = x.ToString("-mmss.fff")

So you filename will be 

"c:\moc\" & WhoamI & "_" & Wrkflw_str & "_" & SCN_str & "_" & Role_str & "_" & Date_str & x1 & ".pdf", ExportFormat.Pdf)

Notice where x1 is . The output will look like XXXX.2332.543

enjoy
