Hi guys,
I'm using Aspose.Form inside a normal .aspx page, and everything works as expected. I load the xsn template in form_load, and process the posted values in the button1_click event. However, if I use the exact same code in a page that uses a masterpage, it stops working! I mean, the form is displayed correctly the first time the page load (!postback), but when I generate a postback the XmlDataNode and XmlDataString properties are empty, no values at all!

Is this a known bug? Is there a fix? I suppose I'm not using the control in a wrong way, since it works as expected without a masterpage...

I look forward to a quick reply.
Thanks

It is a known bug of current release. We are working to provide the hotfix ASAP.

Thanks

OK. Can you please post here when you publish the fix, so that I get notified?

Can you estimate a release date for the fix? I need to know some date to see if the fix will come before the release of our product which is using the control. Thanks

Hello, Please try the beta dll, Let me know if it works

Here is the change list

1. Use Aspose.Form.Web.UI.WebControls.XmlFormViewer to replace the FormControl

2. add httpmodule to your web config as following

<httpModules>
   <add name="CustomModule" type="Aspose.Form.Web.UI.WebControls.Custom.CustomHttpModule, Aspose.Form"/>
  </httpModules>
  <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy"/></system.web>
</configuration>

where do I find the beta dll? I went to http://www.aspose.com/community/files/51/file-format-components/aspose.form/category1094.aspx but the most recent DLL is 1.2 (not beta), which is the one I'm currently using.

1. Please check my the attachment of my previous post.

2. Yes, we need to change many thing to fix this bug. Please use the beta dll, not the v1.2. You may need to change your code a little bit according my previous post.

Thanks

The new dll breaks all my code. where is the XmlDataNode prop, that I use extensively? Gosh...never heard of backward compatibility??

I didn't manage to make it work...can you please just fix the current 1.2 version to work with master pages? I was happy with the way it worked, except for the master page bug...

Hello.

I have found out that the I have to put cc1:XmlFormView when I'm using the control.

Fine, but now I have another problem. After I fill in the form and I do a post (button click) and I'm getting the fields with XmlDataString property, I get the following error:

Wizard_ActiveStepIndex_out_of_range

I'm OK to use beta RC 1.3 but all the basic functionalities MUST work. What should I do to get the content of the fields.

Is this beta 1.3 enough stable to develop ?

Please help. It's really URGENT.

Thanks

Augusto

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will fix the 1.3 version shortly. All the basic functionalities would be working in that release. The 1.3 version is expected to release within this week.

Hi iret.

I have just installed 1.3.0 and I will try this new release. Thanks for the update.

Just a quick remark regarding the installation. The default installation folder is Aspose_Ltd instead of Aspose like the previous version and products (Words for example). Is it the new default folder you will use in the future or do you think it's a mistake in the setup ?

Thanks.
