InfoPath Dev

Hi all,

            I am developing a tool using Infopath 2007. I do have a XSD schema which contains more than 40 controls with hierarchy. I am able to access each and every controls for populating the XML values by programmatically.But the code is repetative.SO more than 120 lines of code needed. Is there anyway to have the looping method? so that i can shrink my program.

Thanks,

Hello Thiyagarajan,

To reduce your code you have to create one secondary file with sourceXPath and destinationXPath fields.

Example:

<MappingNodes>

          <MappingNode>

                   <Mapping sourceXPath ="" destinationXPath=""/>

                   <Mapping sourceXPath ="" destinationXPath=""/>

          </MappingNode>

</MappingNodes>

Code: Here is the code,

//Get the list of nodes from secondary dom.

IXMLDOMNodeList MappingNodes = thisXDocument.GetDOM("DOM Name").selectNodes( "/ MappingNodes/MappingNode/Mapping");

foreach (IXMLDOMNode MappingNode in MappingNodes)

  {

//Get the source XPath of node    

string sourceXPath = MappingNode.selectSingleNode("@sourceXPath");

//Get the destination XPath of node

string destinationXPath = MappingNode.selectSingleNode("@destinationXPath");

//Get the source value from secondary dom

string sourceValue = thisXDocument.GetDOM("DOM Name").selectSingleNode(sourceXPath);

//Set the source vlaue to destination node

thisXDocument.DOM.selecteSingleNode(destinationXPath, sourceValue);

}
