List of examples:
Polls
Creating a poll
// Creates a new poll object
PollInfo newPoll = new PollInfo();
// Sets the poll properties (the poll is global)
newPoll.PollDisplayName = "Color poll";
newPoll.PollCodeName = "ColorPoll";
newPoll.PollTitle = "Color poll";
newPoll.PollQuestion = "What is your favorite color?";
newPoll.PollResponseMessage = "Thank you for voting.";
newPoll.PollAllowMultipleAnswers = false;
newPoll.PollAccess = SecurityAccessEnum.AllUsers;
// Saves the new poll to the database
PollInfoProvider.SetPollInfo(newPoll);
Updating a poll
// Gets the poll
// In this case, the poll is global. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo updatePoll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (updatePoll != null)
{
// Updates the poll properties
updatePoll.PollDisplayName = updatePoll.PollDisplayName.ToLower();
// Saves the updated poll to the database
PollInfoProvider.SetPollInfo(updatePoll);
}
Updating multiple polls
// Gets all polls created for the current site
// Only returns polls created directly for the given site. Does not include global polls that are made available on the site.
InfoDataSet<PollInfo> polls = PollInfoProvider.GetPolls(SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);
// Loops through individual polls
foreach (PollInfo poll in polls)
{
// Updates the poll properties
poll.PollDisplayName = poll.PollDisplayName.ToUpper();
// Saves the updated poll to the database
PollInfoProvider.SetPollInfo(poll);
}
Making a global poll available on a site
// Gets the global poll. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo poll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (poll != null)
{
// Assigns the global poll to the current site
PollSiteInfoProvider.AddPollToSite(poll.PollID, SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);
}
Removing a global poll from a site
// Gets the global poll. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo poll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (poll != null)
{
// Removes the global poll from the current site
PollSiteInfoProvider.RemovePollFromSite(poll.PollID, SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);
}
Deleting a poll
// Gets the poll
// In this case, the poll is global. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo deletePoll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (deletePoll != null)
{
// Deletes the poll
PollInfoProvider.DeletePollInfo(deletePoll);
}
Poll answers
Adding answers to a poll
// Gets the poll
// In this case, the poll is global. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo poll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (poll != null)
{
// Creates a new answer object
PollAnswerInfo newAnswer = new PollAnswerInfo();
// Sets the answer properties and assigns the answer to the specified poll
newAnswer.AnswerPollID = poll.PollID;
newAnswer.AnswerText = "My favorite color is blue.";
newAnswer.AnswerEnabled = true;
newAnswer.AnswerCount = 0;
// Saves the poll answer to the database
PollAnswerInfoProvider.SetPollAnswerInfo(newAnswer);
}
Updating poll answers
// Gets the poll
// In this case, the poll is global. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo poll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (poll != null)
{
// Gets the poll's answers
InfoDataSet<PollAnswerInfo> answers = PollAnswerInfoProvider.GetAnswers(poll.PollID);
// Loops through individual poll answers
foreach (PollAnswerInfo answer in answers)
{
// Updates the answer properties
answer.AnswerText = answer.AnswerText.ToUpper();
// Saves the updated poll answer to the database
PollAnswerInfoProvider.SetPollAnswerInfo(answer);
}
}
Deleting poll answers
// Gets the poll
// In this case, the poll is global. The . prefix in the code name parameter specifies a global poll.
PollInfo poll = PollInfoProvider.GetPollInfo(".ColorPoll", 0);
if (poll != null)
{
// Gets the poll's first answer
InfoDataSet<PollAnswerInfo> answers = PollAnswerInfoProvider.GetAnswers(poll.PollID, 1, null);
PollAnswerInfo deleteAnswer = (PollAnswerInfo)answers.Items.FirstItem;
if (deleteAnswer != null)
{
// Deletes the poll answer
PollAnswerInfoProvider.DeletePollAnswerInfo(deleteAnswer);
