LF SDK Repository Access - Reorganize Fields in Field Value Collection(FVC)

Laserfiche Version 9 SDK How To Web Customizations

asked on March 2, 2017

Hello All,

In the app I am creating using LF data, I can get all the fields in a template as a collection using RA. However, I assumed that the fields would be listed in the same order as I would see them when I launch the LF Client Document Viewer. When using the SDK the fields in the FVC are in alphabetical order. Does anyone know what I can use to get the same ordering of fields in the LF Client using the SDK? I have looked at the documentation and have yet to resolve. I am hoping that there is an option to get the right ordering in the FVC instead of handling using code after storing in an object.

Thanks in advance.

Get the order from the document's template:

EntryInfo entry = Entry.GetEntryInfo(id, session);

FieldValueCollection fvc = entry.GetFieldValues();

List<string> templateFields = new List<string>();

// Print the fields in the template
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(entry.TemplateName))
{
    TemplateInfo entryTemplate = Template.GetInfo(entry.TemplateName, session);

    foreach (FieldInfo field in entryTemplate.Fields)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}: {1}", field.Name, fvc[field.Name]));
        templateFields.Add(field.Name);
    }
}

// Print the independent fields (the ones not in the template)
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> fieldVal in fvc)
{
    if (!templateFields.Contains(fieldVal.Key))
        Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}: {1}", fieldVal.Key, fvc[fieldVal.Key]));
}
