BizForm Tranformation

Nicolás P asked on June 20, 2017 01:19

I am trying to include a BizForm into a transformation, but it is not being rendered if I do in this way. It works if I hardcode the Code Name of the Form, but I need to set it dinamically.

What am I missing?

<asp:Placeholder ID="plhForm" runat="server">
  <div class="submit-form">
    <h2><%# Eval("Title") %></h2>
    <p><%# Eval("Text") %></p>
    <div class="search-form">
      <cms:BizForm ID="frmCTA" FormName="" runat="server" />
    </div>
  </div>
</asp:Placeholder>
<script runat="server">  
  protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) 
  {
    if (Eval<string>("Type") == "Form" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Eval<string>("Form")))
      frmCTA.FormName = Eval<string>("Form");
    else
      plhForm.Visible = false;
  }
</script>

I found out what I was missing, I call ReloadData method after set the FormName property and it worked.

frmCTA.ReloadData();

I just thought I would add here that whilst you have solved your issue, you should be aware of the Page Lifecycle. In the example you posted you are trying to retrieve data and change the look in the OnInit method. In my opinion this should be moved to the OnLoad method.
