Hi E MS,

I believe this TechNet contains the info you need to achieve your goal:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2517906

For your attachment limitations question, I'll refer you to Clayton Cobb's answer at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/fi-FI/sharepointinfopath/thread/72f14b1b-bc01-4540-acd4-7f4f5eb44952

"I highly recommend not having tons of attachments?  Why does the business process include such a thing?  Can the business process not be improved?  Attachments should be a rarity, not an institution.  If there are that many documents being used, then they should really be put into actual document libraries, not be stored inside the XML of InfoPath forms as Base64 binaries.

The technical answer to your question is that there is not only a file size limit to the entire InfoPath form that comes from your web app settings, but there is also a session size limit that is much smaller and is controlled within the IPFS settings of Central Admin.  50 attachments in one form

Thank you so much for your response Keith. I'll follow this code process and update you back. Second link is not working for me(Clayton Cobb's answer)

Thanks Again!!

Hi Keith,

In the first link, I see  as encode and decode code of attachment is available, no specific directions for saving from InfoPath repeating to SP library, what kind of alterations have to apply to that code, please provide some light

Hi,

You have to loop through repeating table to get all rows and their values. Use (row.MoveNext()) as shown in below link:

http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/loop-through-items-repeating-table.htm

You need to use whole code inside the MoveNext so you can read attachment one by one and save into library.

Let us know if still have any doubt

Thanks for your help!  I added Foreach loop to reapting attachment nodes using c# in code behind and It did magic for me, Uploading all the attachments to SP library.

Thank You so much for your help. Please check the code in Btn click

    public void CTRL62_5_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
        {
            // Write your code here.

            XPathNavigator ipFormNav = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
            XPathNodeIterator nodes = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().Select("/my:Project/my:AddAttachmnet", this.NamespaceManager);
              string attachmentValue = string.Empty;

            foreach (XPathNavigator node in nodes)

            {

                if (node != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(node.Value))
                {
                attachmentValue = node.Value;                        

                InfoPathAttachmentDecoder dec = new InfoPathAttachmentDecoder(attachmentValue);
                string fileName = dec.Filename + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmssfff");
                byte[] data = dec.DecodedAttachment;

                // Add the file to a document library
                using (SPSite site = new SPSite("Your site url"))
                {
                    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                    {
                        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                        SPFolder docLib = web.Folders["your document library name"];
                        docLib.Files.Add(fileName, data);
                        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
                        web.Close();
                    }
                    site.Close();
                }
            }// If node is not null

        }// foreach nodes

        }

Hi,

You can form fields data in library while publish the form. When you publish the form in library then you can add form field in wizard to save values of those fields in library. See below screen:

Actually I like to publising and add data to the  fields using c#..I'm using two doc libraries here, one for attachment upload and second one is for all fields data storage.

As i have button for upload attachments to SP library. That button is uploding documents to SP library with that attahmet , i  like to send data to fields as well, data like Form name and ID so those two fields/meta data will reside with attachment, for reference.

So is there any possiblity to add code and send data while uploading documents to SP library, please suggest on this

Hi EMS,

I was able to extract multiple files attachments from Infopath 2013 browser based forms moving forward. How do I extract multiple files attachments from already submitted forms? 

Any idea on how to do this?
