Dynamic form field as a block

James Wilkinson

Vote:

I have a fixed form block (not Episerver forms) which has some standard form fields.

I want to add a Content Area which allows additional, dynamic form fields to be added to the form.

The question I've got it is, when a Post back of the block is performed, how would I retrieve the values from the items in the content area?

Has anyone ever managed to achieve this, or has some example / pointers that can help?

Thanks!

IMHO solution could be following (also depends on what you gonna do with submitted data afterwards):

while postback happens on the server you have access to current page
get info about added blocks to that forms "dynamic section" from ContentArea
every block should implement some known interface via which you could understand name of the posted field (to find it in incoming request)
then you can loop through those blocks and for each block find posted value in incoming Http request

What you do later with these collected values - depends on requirements.
