Hi Salma,

Please refer to the following code - what it does is to retrieve the values in sf_test form for the submitted dropdownlist control, called formdropdownlist1:

FormsManager formsManager = FormsManager.GetManager();

var forms = formsManager.GetForms().Where(f => f.Name == "sf_test");

foreach (var form in forms)

var records = formsManager.GetFormEntries(form);

foreach (var record in records)

FormEntry fe = (FormEntry)record;

var Value1 = fe.GetValue("formdropdownlist1");

Hello Victor,
How can I get only fields that shows up in the form, that is how can I just pick up the values of the fields excluding IP, DateSubmitted, ID etc?

Hello Saad,

I could not really understand your request. Can you be more specific in describing the user - case scenario you want to achieve?
