Wouldn't putting your external URL in place of <Url of the form> from the previous post pretty much be the same thing. One points to the location of a form, one points to an external website. Both are in URL form so the it shouldnt really make a difference should it? Just an idea

Thanks for the reply, Shiva ...

I specifically want to redirect from Infopath to external website. I am aware of the above method to open another InfoPath form. However, that is not what I want.

Do let me know if there is any way to redirect to an external website and pass query string as well

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

You have to write the below code in onClick event of your button,

1. For getting the text box value,

string textValue = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("XPath of your field").text;

2. Prepare the url using above value.

3. Using below code we can open the form,

Application.XDocuments.New(<Url of the form>, 1);

Note: In this we can't redirect to the above url. But we can close the exist form and open the new form.

Hi Shiva, Thanks a lot for your reply. However, it doesnt address my question completely. Forming the URL is not a problem.

I have a button on the browser enabled InfoPath form. Something like a submit button. On click of that, I need to take the value from one of the text boxes in the Infopath form, and then redirect the user from Infopath based browser form to some external site.

How do I achieve that in a button click event? Once the user clicks the button, the user should be redirected to some external site which I specify. Any idea how to do that?

Regards,

Dhruman

Hello Welcome to the Forums,

Which ever you given link are correct if we pass the value for it? Then we can create this format link in code,

string url = string.Format("https://servername/subpath/filename?a=%7b0%7d&b={1}", valueA, valueB);

we can pass this url for navigating to that form.

Hi,

I am implementing a browser-compatible Infopath based solution, where on submit button click, I need to redirect the user to another website, and also pass query string to that website.

Any idea on how to achieve this? There doesnt seem to be any Respose.Redirect type method. Also, how do I pass query string parameters.

Basically, on click of a button on Infopath web based form, I want the page to navigate to a URL like https://servername/subpath/filename?a=value&b=value

Please help - have been stuck over this for a long time ... I am completely new to Infopath development
