Answer.GetRepeatCount Method

This method returns the number of repeated values at a certain level of the repeat.

Syntax

int GetRepeatCount ( int repeat1, int repeat2, int repeat3, int repeat4 )

Return Value

The repeat count for the specified value.

The RepeatCount property returns the repeat count at the current level; however, this method returns the repeat count at an arbitrary level without changing the repeat indexes for the Answer object.

Any unused repeat indexes must be set to -1. For instance, if you want to reference the fourth iteration of the first level of a repeated answer, you would use 3,-1,-1,-1 as the repeat index.

Example

The following Visual C# example displays the number of repeated values at the first repeat level:

public class ExampleCode
{
    static void Main()
    {
        HotDocs.AnswerCollection asc = new HotDocs.AnswerCollection();
        HotDocs.Answer ans = new HotDocs.Answer();
        HotDocs.HDVARTYPE vType = HotDocs.HDVARTYPE.HD_TEXTTYPE;
         
        asc.Create(@"C:\Documents\HotDocs\Answers\AnswerFile.anx");
        ans = asc.Item("Beneficiary Name", ref vType);
        MessageBox.Show(ans.GetRepeatCount(0, -1, -1, -1).ToString());
         
        asc.Close();
    }
}
