Answer.Name Property

[Read/Write] This property is the name (i.e., variable name) of the Answer.

Syntax

public string Name { set; get; }

Example

The following Visual C# code opens an answer file, iterates through its AnswerCollection, and displays each Answer and its Values. After each value, it also displays the RepeatCount at the current level.

public class ExampleCode
{
    static void Main()
    {
        HotDocs.Server.AnswerCollection ac = new HotDocs.Server.AnswerCollection("c:\\temp\\JohnDoe.anx");
         
        foreach (HotDocs.Server.Answer ans in ac)
        {
            System.Console.WriteLine(ans.Name);
             
            // Iterate through each of the Answer's Values.
            int[,] myArray = ans.ValueIndexes;
            for (int i = 0; i < myArray.GetLength(0); i++)
            {
                ans.RepeatIndexes[0] = myArray[i, 0];
                ans.RepeatIndexes[1] = myArray[i, 1];
                ans.RepeatIndexes[2] = myArray[i, 2];
                ans.RepeatIndexes[3] = myArray[i, 3];
                 
                System.Console.Write("{0},{1},{2},{3}: ", ans.RepeatIndexes[0].ToString(), ans.RepeatIndexes[1].ToString(),
                    ans.RepeatIndexes[2].ToString(), ans.RepeatIndexes[3].ToString());
 
                if (ans.Value.GetType().IsArray)
                {
                    // This means the value is an array, such as a "select all that apply" Multiple Choice value.
                    System.Object[] valArray = (System.Object[])ans.Value;
                     
                    for (int j = 0; j < valArray.GetLength(0); j++)
                    {
                        System.Console.Write(valArray[j].ToString());
                        if (j < (valArray.GetLength(0) - 1)) System.Console.Write("|");
                    }
                }
                else System.Console.Write(ans.Value.ToString());
                System.Console.WriteLine(" (RepeatCount: " + ans.RepeatCount + ")");
            }
        }
        System.Console.ReadKey();
    }
