xdExtension and xdXDocument with Managed code

[Ken]

First, thanks for helping.

1.
I would like to use xdExtension and xdXDocument from and xsl file like
one of the viewXX.xsl files.

I have not been unable to call managed functions form the xsl file.

2.
I would also like to use xdExtension from the rules, conditional
formating, data validation and expressions dialogs -- so far no go.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response.

I had alread tried the "InfoPath Dev: Dev Nugget titled, "Use Code to
Determine a Rule Condition" approach and it only seems to work for
standard non-managed code.

Perhaps you could give some short syntax example of say a managed
method returning a simple string, like:

public string strTest(){
return "Hello World!";
}

<xsl:value-of select="xdExtension:strTest" />

because I seem to be unable to get it working.

Thanks,

Ken

Try syntax as follow <xsl:value-of select="xdExtension:strTest()" />

My appologies !

In my previous post I forgot the "()" on the method; however, that
does not make <xsl:value-of select="xdExtension:strTest()" /> work.

Do you have some actually, Tested Code that I might try?

Do I need some type of attribute on the method? If so what might it
be?

Thanks,

Ken

Are you trying to do this with an Expression Box? If so, that's the problem. Expression Boxes need to be set in a Preserve Code Block in order to use xdExtension...

Check out this thread:

Hi Greg,

Thanks ! I see the problem -- I wanted to use the xdExtension in the
Rule's action to set a field's value.

It does work if used in the Condition part of a Rule.

Do you know of a way to get it to return values using the Rule's
action dialog?

Verifying the fromula says it doesn't know about the xdExtension
namespace.

Thanks again,

Ken
