Query forms

Find a form

To find a specific form, you use the FormsManager class and LINQ queries. The following code finds a form with the specified formIdthrough the Native API.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forms.Model;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Forms;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class QueryForms_FindForm
    {
        private FormDescription FindForm(Guid formId)
        {
            var formManager = FormsManager.GetManager();
            return formManager.GetForms().Where(f => f.Id == formId).SingleOrDefault();
        }
    }
}

First, you initialize the FormsManager. Then, you must call GetForms to retrieve all forms and, finally, you filter the lists based on the Idproperty.

NOTE: You can filter by any of the form's properties.

Retrieving all forms

To retrieve all created forms, you use the FormsManager class:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forms.Model;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Forms;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class QueryForms_GetAllForms
    {
        private List<FormDescription> GetAllForms()
        {
            var formManager = FormsManager.GetManager();
            return formManager.GetForms().ToList<FormDescription>();
        }
    }
}

First, you initialize the FormsManager. Then, you must call GetForms to retrieve all forms and, finally, you convert to list.
