Sharepoint survey: How to identify the question fields when fetching survey information from the Lis
- by paul
I am wanting to access survey information via the Lists web service and display the questions contained in the survey.
The result contains a large number of Field nodes some of which are the questions in the survey. The other fields contain other information such as author, last changed etc.
How can I pick out the questions? I had thought that all non-questions would be hidden but this is not the case.
Here is my code as it is at the moment. It returns about 16 items. The survey has 6 questions...
// read question definitions
string[] HandleTypes = new string[] { "Number", "DateTime", "Text", "Choice", "GridChoice", "Boolean" };
var query = from n in node.Descendants(ns+"Field")
where (n.Attribute("Hidden") == null || n.Attribute("Hidden").Value.ToLower() == "true")
&& (n.Attribute("Type") != null && HandleTypes.Contains(n.Attribute("Type").Value))
select new Question(n.Attribute("ID").Value)
{
Text = n.Attribute("DisplayName").Value,
QuestionType = n.Attribute("Type").Value,
Element = n
};
Ideas anyone?
