Create form responses programmatically?

Posted by Community Admin on 08-Jan-2013 00:00

Can anyone provide an example of how to do this? I'm an experienced programmer, but I'm not very familiar with the Sitefinity framework / data model.

Hello Raymond,

Here is a sample that will create a form response.

void GenerateFormResponse()

FormsManager formsMgr = FormsManager.GetManager();

formsMgr.Provider.SuppressSecurityChecks = true;

var form = formsMgr.GetFormByName("sf_testform1");

if (form != null)

FormEntry entry = formsMgr.CreateFormEntry(String.Format("0.1", formsMgr.Provider.FormsNamespace, form.Name));

entry.SetValue("FormTextBox_C001", "Angus"

);      //first name

entry.SetValue("FormTextBox_C003", "Thermopile"

); //last name

entry.IpAddress = Page.Request.UserHostAddress;

entry.SubmittedOn = DateTime.UtcNow;

entry.UserId = ClaimsManager.GetCurrentUserId();

if (SystemManager.CurrentContext.AppSettings.Multilingual)

entry.Language = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.Name;

form.FormEntriesSeed++;

entry.ReferralCode = form.FormEntriesSeed.ToString();

formsMgr.SaveChanges();

Where "sf_testform1" is the name of your form which you can find under the "Advanced" section of the form designer and "FormTextBox_C001" is the name of the first form control in your form which you set under the "Advanced' section in the form control designer.

I hope you find this useful.

You can also try this

using (var fluent = App.WorkWith())

fluent.Forms()

.Form("sf_empdetails")

.Entry()

.CreateNew(System.Guid.NewGuid())

.SetFieldValue("FormTextBox_C001", name)

.SetFieldValue("FormTextBox_C002", name2)

.SaveChanges();

I wonder how to add other values to the entry with fluent api like
entry.UserId

Hi all,

@Paula

You can use the .Do extension to add the UserId property:

using (var fluent = App.WorkWith())

fluent.Forms()

.Form("sf_YourForm")

.Entry()

.CreateNew(System.Guid.NewGuid())

.Do(a => a.UserId = theUserId)

.SetFieldValue("FormTextBox_C001", "Value1")

.SaveChanges();

Hi,
I am facing issue with "SetValue" method of FormEntry object, while I am trying to access "SetValue" method with FormEntry object. I am unable to get the same. Is there any sitefinity version issue or anything else. I am using Sitefinity V.8.0. Please find the attachment.

entry.SetValue("FormTextBox_C001", "Angus"); //first name

Thanks

I think you're missing an import, "Telerik.Sitefinity.Model"
