InfoPath Dev

Hi All,

Is it possible to pass parameters from one infopath template to another via manged code, c#?

In my scenario, I am trying to pass two fields from template1 to template2. The two values passed will be used to populate into two separate text boxes in template 2.

All help is deeply appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

When you used the word "template" did you mean that? Or did you mean the live form? There is no communication between templates (i.e. InfoPath Designer), only between forms (i.e. InfoPath Editor).

As for the editor, you have an XDocuments collection off of the Application object. You can get to all open forms and pass data between them.

If you launched the secondary form from code, you should have been given an XDocument reference in return. You access that one just like you do your own form's XDocument.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any sample code for the launching of secondary form from C# managed code and the access method? I had googled around and couldn't find any examples for it.

Many thanks in advance

Try this:

XDocument oXdNewForm = thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolution(@"c:\foo\form.xsn");

You can also use Rules on a button to open a new form

Hi Greg,

I had tried the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
XDocument oXdNewForm = thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolution(sPath+"TestForm.xsn");

oXdNewForm.DOM.selectSingleNode("/TEST_FORM/Info/ID").text = sID;

oXdNewForm.DOM.selectSingleNode("/TEST_FORM/Info/Officer").text = sInspectorNm;
---------------------------------------------------------------------

and encountered the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Access is denied.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

What I am trying to do is to set the value of two fields in the secondary form using some data from the current form. In addition to this, both my forms are fully-trusted. Is the fully-trusted an issue?

I had resolve the issue. I had published the secondary form to another domain and try to call the secondary form in my debug mode.

Once I had published both forms, the error does not occur.

Thanks for your help Greg!

Glad to help out! And I'm happy you got it working!
