Re: Get name of form library from form

At any rate, Here's what I'm doing right now. I get the browser form's URI and then pull the library name out of that.

For the sake of organization, paste this snippet right underneath the comment block that talks about member variables:

  private object _strUri
  {
    get { return FormState["_strUri"]; }
    set { FormState["_strUri"] = value; }
  }

In my form load event code ( Tools > Programming > Loading Event... ):

_strUri = e.InputParameters["SaveLocation"].ToString();

In my submit code:

// Get URI string sUri = _strUri.ToString();

// Extract library name int nUriLastSlashIndex = sUri.LastIndexOf('/'); int nUriSecondToLastSlashIndex = sUri.LastIndexOf('/', nUriLastSlashIndex - 1); int nLibraryStringStartPosition = nUriSecondToLastSlashIndex + 1; int nLibraryStringLength = nUriLastSlashIndex - nUriSecondToLastSlashIndex - 1; string sLibrary = sUri.Substring(nLibraryStringStartPosition, nLibraryStringLength);

// Write the value to somewhere in the form XPathNavigator xpnThis = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator(); xpnThis.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:FormSuppliments/my:FormLibraryName", this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(sLibrary);

EDIT: Ok, I've looked it up and this little code snippet isn't technically 'supposed' to work unless you close the form and reopen it exactly as I said I /didn't/ want to do. I have no idea how I had it working. Anyway it did jus break for me but fortunately I found a fix so I've edited it in.

Get name of form library from form

Hello all,

I have an InfoPath 2007 form up on a SharePoint 2007 form library. Is it possible for the form to get the name of it's library?

This has left me stumped for quite a while. Initially I thought it was floating somewhere in the data connections wizard but I couldn't find it there. I've been doing it in part of my form code with uri parsing but it seems like that solution has the potential to break very easily.

Thank you!
