Re: how to update WorkFlow Task Outcome field from infopath code behind button click

Hi Nasir,

You probably don't need code to do this. Just promote the field that you are using for the task outcome and add a SharePoint workflow that sets the task status based on the field.

Good luck!

how to update WorkFlow Task Outcome field from infopath code behind button click

Guys,
i've created an infopath form let assume it has 2 views...... 1) Requester / Submitter 2) Manager View
i've one text field in infopath form "FormStatus"
when requester submit the form to a document library, i wrote code behind on submission

public void btnSubmit_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
{
string strValue = "Submitted To Manager";
string strXpath = "/my:myFields/my:FormStatus";
MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(strXpath, NamespaceManager).SetValue(strValue);
this.Submit();
}

when user submit form, it successfully submitted to the library and i'm creating a task for the next approver (Manager) from SharePoint Designer 2013 list Workflow
on formloading event i'm checking if the logged in user is a Manager then switch to Manager View that contains two custom buttons (Approve, Reject)
i'm Approving from code behind as follows

public void btnApprove_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
{
string strValue = "Approved by Manager";
string strXpath = "/my:myFields/my:FormStatus";
MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(strXpath, NamespaceManager).SetValue(strValue);
this.Submit();

//Here i want to update this particular task Outcome to "Approved" so that my workflow moves forward. if i manually Approve Task from Workflow Task then its fine but i need to do this from code
}

when i open WorkFlow task list and perform approve reject of that task, it works fine.
but i want to update Workflow Task Outcome field to "Approved" when Manager clicks on Approve button of that particular task assigned to him, also want to update %Complete and Task Status to Completed.
Thanks
