hi,
i have a Repeater control on form which contains one textbox.
i have two things to do with this repeater control.

1. i want to put command button on form to remove selected item of repeating section.

2. i want to read all the values from textboxes(from repeating section) which are inserted by user at runtime and display it in a listbox.

can u please guide me.

Thanks & Regards
Santosh.

If you do not want to use the built in remove buttons you should look read up on XDocument.View.ExecuteAction method.

As for the filling in of the listbox, it should be a simple as:
- Going to your data source task pane
- Dragging the repeating field onto the form
- If it is text type, the default control will be a textbox. Right click the textbox and then select the list box control.
- Then double click on the listbox to open the properties window.
- Select the lookup options from's data source
- In entries, select the repeating group node.
- In value, select the field that you want to display.

Thanks VT!

hi,
thanks for your reply
if my delete button is in repeating section then following code works (which is told by agni)

var node = eventObj.Source;
node.parentNode.removeChild(node);

but in my case delete button is outside repeating section
i tried following code

XDocument.View.SelectNodes(XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:group1/my:group2"));
XDocument.View.ExecuteAction("xOptional::remove", "group2_1");

dosent work.
Please Help.

Thanks & Regards

I think this is what you're trying to do:

var repeatingTable = XDocument.DOM.selectNodes( "/my:myFields/my:group1/my:group2" );
// remove all rows from the tables
repeatingTable.removeAll();

--OR--

var node = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode( "my:myFields/my:group1/my:group2[my:id = 3]" );
// remove single row from table
node.parentNode.removeChild( node );
