Remarks

Forms are the things that pop-up in an editor when run from a command line. In P4.Net (and most other Perforce APIs), you do not need to parse/format the text manually. Instead, you can get/set the fields using the Fields and ArrayFields collections.

The following is a list of common form commands:

client

branch

label

job

user

group

protect

triggers

branch

When fetching or saving a form, do not use the '-o' and '-i' flags. P4.Net will automatically include them.

Example

The following example updates the current client. It changes the client root, and adds a line to the view.

          P4Connection p4 = new P4Connection();
          p4.Connect();

          P4Form MyClient = p4.Fetch_Form("client");

          //Change the root and properties
          MyClient["Root"] = @"C:\p4\P4.NetClient";
          MyClient["Description"] = "Created from P4.Net!";

          //Fetch the clientName (for use later in building the view spec).
          string clientName = MyClient["Client"];

          // Build a new array, that has one more element than the current view
          string[] NewView = new string[MyClient.ArrayFields["View"].Length + 1];

          // Copy the existing view lines to the new array
          MyClient.ArrayFields["View"].CopyTo(NewView,0);

          // Set the new view line
          NewView[NewView.Length - 1] = string.Format("//depot/newpath/... //{0}/newpath/...", clientName);

          MyClient.ArrayFields["View"] = NewView;

          // Save the form
          P4UnParsedRecordSet MyResult = p4.Save_Form(MyClient);
          p4.Disconnect();
