Hi, I'm developing a form that should do a calculation using DateDiff.  Some preliminary information:  the form is injected with qRules, but is also Full Trust and using code, specifically C# code on a button click event.

Here is how my rule is defined:  it's on the calendar control, based on a field with a Date datatype.  The condition is to execute when the field changes.  I'm setting the qRules data source Command field to concat("DateAdd /xpath=/my:RequestForTimeOff/my:LeaveRequested/my:BeginDate /", UnitType, "=", NbrUnits) where UnitType is either hours, days, or weeks, and NbrUnits is an integer.  The command is defined in the formula builder window of the value field.  The command is intended to populate another date field with the results, as in "Set a field's value: EndDate = Result", result from the qRules data source.

The problem is when I test in Preview mode, the rule doesn't appear to execute.  I've dragged the Success, Result, and Error fields onto my view and nothing appears.

What might I be missing?  Can qRules not be used when code is in the form?

Hi Tom,

qRules cannot be injected into forms with code using the qRules Injector. Instead, the qRules DLL must be added via the steps in this document:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Ernesto.

 Do I need to remove any injected data source?

Hi, Tom - you can leave the injected qRules data source & XML instead of manually adding them as per the instructions for combining code & qRules.

Hi Hilary and Ernesto,

Too late, jumped the gun and took them out!  It works anyway.

I'm just getting my command down cold for using a base of 8 hours to represent a work day.  I'll get it figured out from the doc.

Thanks again.
