Ok, I'm designing a forms-based system using C# in Visual Studio 2005. My goal is to created a PDF form in LiveCycle Designer, put it on the website, send XFDF (or whatever) to the PDF on the client side to pre-populated it, then have the user submit the XML from the form back to the server. This is probably a typical scenario, but I'm a little confused on the formatting.<br /><br />Data exported from PDF to an EMAIL looks like this:<br /><br /> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <br />- <topmostSubform><br /> <txtReferralDate /> <br /> <chkInpatient>0</chkInpatient> <br /> <txtHospital /> <br /> <chkOutpatient>0</chkOutpatient> <br /> <txtPat_Name /> <br /> <txtPat_Addr1 /> <br /> <txtPat_Addr2 /> <br /> <txtPat_Phone /> <br /> <txtPat_OHIP /> <br /> </topmostSubform><br /><br />The XFDF Specification says it SHOULD be like this:<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"><br /><field name="txtPat_Name"><br /><value>John</value><br /></field><br />(etc.)<br /><br />So my questions are:<br />1. Which format do I use when sending data to the client to load a pre-populated form?<br />2. When data is posted to a server in XML, how do I read and parse that data in C#? (or at least, how is the XML "posted"? Obviously not as an HTML form post.)<br />3. Am I even doing this correctly? Perhaps there is a better method?<br /><br />Thanks.
