Hi,

you're right :) I missed a slash.
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:training_administration/my:courses/my:course/my:id").text
I'm so blind :) Sorry for bothering.

Regards,

Buki

Hi Buki,
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:training_administration/my:courses/my:course/my:id")
is not returning the node. Probably your XPath might be wrong. One thing you need to note here is XPath is case sensitive.

Hi,

thanks for the hint, but in this case I don't have to deal with SharePoint. I just want to get the selected value from a dropdown list within an InfoPath form. And there I receive this System.NullReferenceException when I want to retrieve the value.
I guess this can't be hard to accomplish, but at the moment I'm a bit stuck.

Regards,

Buki

Hi,

how do I get the selecetd value of a dropdown list? This


string id = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:training_administration/my:courses/my:course/my:id").text;

only returns this error:

System.NullReferenceException
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at WBTAnmeldung.WBTAnmeldung.btnViewDetails_OnClick(DocActionEvent e) in d:\vs2003\projects\wbtanmeldung\formcode.cs:line 39
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust._ButtonEventSink_SinkHelper.OnClick(DocActionEvent pEvent)

Any hints?

Thanks in advance.

Buki
