View is null?

[bshea]

I have a form being built where I want to test for a field value and then
ensure the form's view is set correctly based on that value.

pseudo-code:
OnLoad()
{
check for status_field value
If (status_field value == "new") XDocument.View.SwitchView("Request");
.... more tests etc.

Problem:
When this occurs in the OnLoad function the view object is returning null
and then I can't test views, set views, etc.

Attempting to manually create a view object reference fails, with the same
result (obj doesn't exist or is null) but just on differentlines of code.

Any thoughts on how I can get the view to set correctly based on the field
value?

Try

XDocument.ViewInfos["Request"].IsDefault = true;

instead of

XDocument.View.SwitchView("Request");

This seems to work, thanks! (still testing all my use cases but the initial
case tested success.

Try

XDocument.ViewInfos["Request"].IsDefault = true;

instead of

XDocument.View.SwitchView("Request");
