Excellent work! Thank you, Survey Project team!

We are building a asp.net 2.0 site, which will invites its members to take a survey periodically. I luckily found your project. The survey tool does everything we need in terms of building a survey and it sure saves us tremendous work to build such a tool on our own. Since the site already has its own membership component, I wonder what's the best way to "plug-in" your survey to the existing site. In particular, I'd appreciate if you can give us a bit insight on following:

(1) I've set up the survey successfully on the existing site where a member of the site (who does not use a "survey" user account) can login and take a survey. Question is how can I automatically capture the member's UserID/UserName and link it to the SurveyID.

(2) I'd like to keep track an user's progress on a particular survey (i.e. complete/incomplete). Which database table I should query for such info assuming we can link the UserID and SurveyID somehow.

Thanks again! I'm looking forward to seeing your response!

 Hello,

We're glad to see you're making good use of the Survey tool and are enthousiastic about the project (team is still a big word, if you know of any potential supporters/ contributors just send them through...).  

Concerning your second question we've added a list of queries to the Help section that might help you get started with the right database tables for any survey/questions/ answer overviews. It's the vts_tbVoter that will tell you more about any progress. Please realise that the exact queries used depend a lot on how the survey is set up.

Concering the first question that's rather more complicated. Such an integration was done in the past when the Nsurvey Dotnetnuke module was created (DNN is a modular cms-framework with its own user administration). You could try to search the sourcecode of this former DNN module to get some idea of how to go about.

One other option is to try and read the files and documents in the Csharp_samples directory that can be found at the http://survey.codeplex.com website, see Change Set 46616.

Hopefully these answers will help you in the right direction.
