Hi. Thank you. I have changed all varibles to local, and I am using functions to pass the variables. I have no error in the form when i make it compatible with the web-based forms to fill it using a browser. However, when i publish it in Sharepoint I get a message saying: The form was closed. What could it be? The form works fine localy, on my machine where i have infopath. I use custom code for saving the information into the database. Thank you!

Hi. Thank you for answering. So, if I replace all global variables with local ones, and I use functions with parameters, all should be ok right? Thank you!

the above code seems to be fine, you need viewstate for global variables only. There might be some other code that throws errors

The form state applies only to global variables or to any of them?

Thank you for your answers.

Take this code for example. How should it be converted, I have tried but the values are not assigned if i use FormState(".."). I am using InfoPath 2007

        Private Sub InternalStartup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
            AddHandler DirectCast(EventManager.ControlEvents("btnSave"), ButtonEvent).Clicked, AddressOf btnSaveBuilding_Clicked

            Dim xnFormName As XPathNavigator
            Dim xnDoc As XPathNavigator
            Dim Info As String
            Dim currentIdentity As WindowsIdentity

           strInfo = ""

            'create navigators
            xnFormName = Me.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator()
            xnDoc = Me.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator()

            'citesc domeniul si userul din windows
            currentIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
            strInfo = currentIdentity.Name

            'adaugare user in campul de pe form
            xnFormName.SelectSingleNode("/my:View1/my:txtInfo", Me.NamespaceManager).SetValue(strInfo)

        End Sub

Thank you!

Member variables (global variables) are not supported by Browser enabled forms, so you cannot use them, instead you can use form state. to store variables. just follow the syntax given

private object _memberVariable

{

get

{

return FormState["_memberVariable"];

}

set

{

FormState["_memberVariable"] = value;

}

In InfoPath, you cannot decalre variables directly. To declare the variables you need to use the form state dictionary.
