Where is Xform data stored?

Vote:
 

I've got some posts causing problems when I try to upgrade our site to CMS 6.0. The ID's are printed so I thought I'd just delete the posts but I can't find them. Where are they stored?

The site is fully functional even if these causes exceptions but I'd like to sort these out once and for all.

They are stored in tblItem, but if you plan to delete dem straight out of the table make sure you do it on a test database first. Have you tried using the API to delete the xform data? I wouldn't recommend deleting directly in the database.

Yes, this is a test database. How do I use the API to do this?

The simplest is probably if you can just list the xform data from edit mode and remove any form data you want. Otherwise you can use the XFormData.CreateInstance method to get the posting (you need to know it's guid) and then call the Delete method on the returned instance.

Just opening the form would of course be the easiest way to go but the exception in the installation leaves me with the ID, that's it. I have no idea in what form to find this.

I'll probably end up just upgrading and never mind about the Xforms. They are disposable anyways.

What kind of ID is it you get then (I thought it was the guid)? Can you post the full message?

Those are indeed the guids of the posts. If you do XFormData.CreateInstance(new Guid("guid from error message goes here")).Delete() you should get rid of them. Then hope there are no more orphans than those 17 :)

Weird, that seems to indicate that it is already removed (CreateInstance returns null). I have no further suggestions then.

Did you solve it Magnus? If you didn't I think it's because you are using EPiServer CMS 6 and I think it stores XForms in a different way than how the 5 did it.  Use Reflector to look at the XFormData Delete() method in a CMS 5 dll, to see how they do it there and copy that code.
