Re: Conditional Expression OR security trimming controls

Yes, it will work if there is any match in the list, and there's no need to use that translate() hack. The msxsl:string-compare is there to perform a case-insensitive string comparison.

No however I did change it a little to:

not(dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/dfs:SustainApprovers/@Person[msxsl:string-compare(., translate(/my:myFields/my:MyCurrentUser, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYXZ"), "", "i") = 0])

I need to change MyCurrentUser to lower case so that it will match...or does that not matter?

Will this still read in all the rows from the custom list to see if there are any matches.....or do I need to include the double eval?

Please try this formula:

not(SustainApprovers/@Person[msxsl:string-compare(., MyCurrentUser, '', 'i') = 0])

You'll of course need to provide the full paths to @Person and MyCurrentUser, not these simplified versions.

Conditional Expression OR security trimming controls

Not sure if this goes under code or controls.

Here's the situation I need to disable certain controls on my for based on user that is logged on to the PC. So in my for load event I have some code that gets the users AccountName and puts it in a textbox:
XPathNavigator root = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
GetUserInfoWS.UserProfileService profileService = new sustainabilityForm.GetUserInfoWS.UserProfileService();
profileService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
GetUserInfoWS.PropertyData[] userProps = null;
try
{
userProps = profileService.GetUserProfileByName(null);
}
catch { }
if (userProps == null || userProps.Length == 0) return;
GetUserInfoWS.ValueData[] values = userProps[1].Values;
XPathNavigator node = null;
node = root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:MyCurrentUser", NamespaceManager);
node.SetValue(values[0].Value.ToString());

Then on the controls that need to be disabled I have a conditional condition that compares what I have in the textbox with what is in a custom list I created called SustainApprovers...like this:

MyCurrentUser is not equal to translate(eval(eval(SustainApprovers, "@Person"), ".."), "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYXZ")

Okay so here is the problem. If I have the second part of the condition as translate(my:myFields/my:dataFields/my:Person, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYXZ") It does not go through the the custom list and query each row, it only looks at the top row....so I added in the double eval and while this gets the whole list it still does not equal true. Is there a better way to security trim controls in InfoPath?

Thanks
