Re: Get entire dropdown list items into an array in InfoPath

I have tried to use XPathNodeIterator. But for reasons I can figure out, the XPathNodeIterator object only able to provide the first two values in the list. So in the interest of saving time, I had to make a query direct to the the database and looped through the dataset. At least I know XPathNodeIterator was the right way to go.

Thanks

You need an XPathNodeIterator - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xpath.xpathnodeiterator.aspx

I think the forum is fussy about browsers when it comes to line breaks and so forth - what browser are you using?

Sorry I'm not able to get any carriage returns in my post. Everything appears in the same line.

Get entire dropdown list items into an array in InfoPath

Artois — Fri, 17 May 2013 09:25:30 GMT

I have an InfoPath XSN form template with a dropdown list. This is bound at design time to a data source and populated with a list of names when the form is loaded. I would like to get hold of all of the names in this dropdown list into an array for processing elsewhere on that form. I have tried to get hold of a reference to the dropdown list as below (and similar variations); XPathNavigator myNav = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator(); object dd = myNav.Select("/dfs:myFields/dfs:queryFields/q:Site/@STitle", this.NamespaceManager).Current; But I'm only getting the current value and not able to get hold of the entire list. Any one able to help please?
