In parts 1 to 4 we looked at some of the different classes and methods that are available in the Smartform API. In part 5 we will be taking these methods and building a complete assembly for us to use.
Smartform spider library
The Smartform spider library is what we will use to create an endpoint assembly so we can create SmartObjects from it and then eventually Smartforms.
Getting Started
1. Open up Visual studio and create a class library project
2.Add the following references to the library
using SourceCode.Forms.Management;
using SourceCode.Forms.Deployment;
using SourceCode.Forms;
using SourceCode.Forms.Authoring;
3.Create a class called ‘Common.cs’, this will contain all the common classes to hold the form and view data.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;namespace CloudFish.FormSpider
{
public class SmartFormViewSml
{
public string name
{
get;
set;
}
public string displayname
{
get;
set;
}public string description
{
get;
set;
}public Guid guid
{
get;
set;
}
public int version
{
get;
set;
}
}public class SmartFormView
{
public string name
{
get;
set;
}
public string displayname
{
get;
set;
}public string description
{
get;
set;
}public Guid guid
{
get;
set;
}
public int version
{
get;
set;
}public string theme
{
get;
set;
}}
public class SmartFormViewProperties
{
public string name
{get;
set;
}public string value
{get;
set;
}
}
public class SmartFormViewControls
{
public string name
{
get;
set;
}public string type
{
get;
set;
}public Guid guid
{
get;
set;
}}
public class SmartFormViewParameters
{
public string name
{
get;
set;
}public string type
{
get;
set;
}public string defaultvalue
{
get;
set;
}
}public class SmartFormViewEvents
{
public string name
{
get;
set;
}public string type
{
get;
set;
}public Guid GUID
{
get;
set;
}
}
public class SmartFromViewHandlers
{public string Name
{get;
set;
}public Guid GUID
{get;
set;
}
public Guid GUID
{get;
set;
}}
public class SmartFormViewActions
{
public Guid GUID
{get;
set;
}public Guid viewguid
{
get;
set;
}public Guid formguid
{
get;
set;
}public string method
{
get;
set;
}public string executiontype
{
get;
set;
}public Guid controlguid
{
get;
set;
}public string actiontype
{
get;
set;
}
}
public class SmartFormViewActionParameters
{
public string targettype
{get;
set;
}
public string targetpath
{get;
set;
}
public string targetid
{get;
set;
}public string sourcevalue
{get;
set;
}public string sourcetype
{get;
set;
}
public string sourcepath
{get;
set;
}public string sourceid
{get;
set;
}
}
public class SmartFormViewActionValidation
{public string status
{
get;
set;
}
}public class SmartFormViewActionValidationMessage
{public string message { get; set; }
}}
4.Create another class called ‘properties.cs’, this will contain a generic method to get the properties of an item.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;namespace CloudFish.FormSpider
{
class Properties
{public List<SmartFormViewProperties> ArtefactProperties(SourceCode.Forms.Authoring.PropertyCollection properties)
{
List<SmartFormViewProperties> list = new List<SmartFormViewProperties>();
foreach (SourceCode.Forms.Authoring.Property prop in properties)
{
list.Add(new SmartFormViewProperties
{
name = prop.Name,
value = prop.Value,});
}
return list;
}
}
}
SmartObject Object
5.Now lets create a class called ‘Smartform.cs’ this class will contain all the public static methods for accessing key information from a Smartform and is the object that will be used as a Service Object by K2.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

7.Now we can build the solution and we are ready to tell K2 about it and make it a service object and then a SmartObject.
You can download the code from this location
Creating the Service Object
Creating the service object is really easy, open up the ‘SmartObject Service Tester’
1.Right Click on the ‘Endpoints Assembly’ and click on ‘Register Service Instance’
2.In the ‘Assembly Full Path’ enter in the full address of where the dll of the assembly is kept.
3.Click on ‘Next’ and enter in ‘Form Spider’ in the ‘Display Name’ and ‘System Name’
4.Click ‘Finish’
K2 will then integrate the Dll and map out all the public static methods.
Now that we have the service objects we can now create the SmartObjects. For this project i have just created two SmartObjects one for Smartforms and for the Views. Each of these objects will contain all the public static methods we created in the class library earlier.
Below is an example of one
More information on Endpoint Assemblies can be found here
In the final part of this series we will take the SmartObjects and build the Smartforms and Views.
