Getting HTML for selected Questions

Upon selection of a response, all answerable questions are displayed on a single page along with their current answers. The user can then change the answers and save those changes.

To run the application, extract the files to a folder, then create a virtual directory in IIS to point to the folder . Then you'll need to update the connection string in the web.config and will need to update the web.config and all config files to replace [APP_PATH] with the physical location of the folder containing the application (e.g. C:\WebRoot\OnePageSurvey\) so that the various configuration files are referenced by their full paths.

Hopefully this will be a good start for you to adapt to your needs. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I have been using the sample website, but have noticed that the save feature isn't working quite right. When I click the save button, the page says that answers have been successfully updated, but when I leave and then come back to the survey, or view the results in the checkbox app, the answers have not been changed.

Any idea what I need to update/change in the same app to get that to update correctly?

Thanks

Here is the code in the app for saving the new results:

//Reload the current response, which is necessary because the response object does not have a lifecycle
// beyond the a single postback in the application. This will eventually change, but for now the
// response must be reloaded to prevent item IsValid states from getting confused.
LoadCurrentResponse();

bool valid = true;

if (_itemRenderers != null)
{
foreach (ItemRenderer renderer in _itemRenderers)
{
//Update the model
renderer.UpdateModel();

if (renderer.Model is ResponseItem)
{
valid = valid & ((ResponseItem)renderer.Model).Valid;
}

//Rebind the renderer to the model to cause the validation errors to show
// current state of the Model.
renderer.BindModel();
}

_answersUpdatedLbl.Visible = valid;
_validationErrorLbl.Visible = !_answersUpdatedLbl.Visible;

//Save the response state
CurrentResponse.SaveCurrentState();
}

After trying several things, I found that if I commented out the LoadCurrentResponse(); the new answers were saved correctly, and everything else still appears to work.
