Copy Survey as new survey using API

Hi there,
Below is a senario I am trying to achive using API. I tought I post it in community so that if I get responses all member can use it later on :

Here is What I want to do (all with CheckBox API only) if anyone did this before please help me.

I have couple of surveys that I use them as template to create new surveys
here are the steps I want to implement :

1- List the surveys located under a folder to user (see "Get Survey ID under a folder" as how to do that
Thank to ncushing)

2- User will pick one of the survey and click on create survey

3- My application use the ResponseTemplateID of selected Survey and copy survey as a new Survey
Question : probably should use ResponseTemplateManager.CopyResponseTemplate(....) but I don't know what parameters I should pass e.g. IAccessPermissabl?? or LanguageCode?

4- After I have the new Survey (assuming I will have the ResponseTemplateID of new survey), I like to add users to the survey and later send them invitation.

Thanks
Paayaa

Most of the Checkbox API methods take an IAccessPermissible object as a parameter; it is used to gate access. The following code example demonstrates how to obtain an ExtendedPrincipal object, which is a concrete implementation of the IAccessPermissible interface, and the current users default language.

ExtendedPrincipal currentPrincipal = (ExtendedPrincipal)UserManager.GetCurrentPrincipal();
string language =  WebTextManager.GetUserLanguage();

ResponseTemplate newSurvey = ResponseTemplateManager.CopyTemplate(templateId, currentPrincipal, language);

Thanks for reply,

One issue and one question. I start with the issue :

I use admin account that have full access right and here is the code I use to to copy a survey as a new survey (assuming I know the TemplateID)

public static ResponseTemplate CreateNewPoll(int pollTemplateID)
{
//Initialize the user manager, only needs to be done once per IIS Application lifetime.
UserManager.Initialize();
string[] adminRoles = { "System Administrator" };
IIdentity adminID = UserManager.GetUserIdentity("admin");
ExtendedPrincipal adminPrincipal = new ExtendedPrincipal(adminID, adminRoles);

string language = WebTextManager.GetUserLanguage();

ResponseTemplate newPoll = ResponseTemplateManager.CopyTemplate(pollTemplateI D, adminPrincipal, language);
return newPoll;

}

It will create the survey but when I login to checkbox using admin username, password I can not see the survey. I checked the database and I can see it added a row to ckbx_ResponseTemplateTable. What am I missing?

Question : If I want to create this new survey under a folder which function(s) I should use?

Thanks again

I apologize my original response was incomplete. The new survey needs to be added to a folder, be it the root or a sub folder, in order to be visible in the application.

private void MoveSurveyToFolder(ResponseTemplate survey, int folderId)
{
if (folderId == 0)
{
FormFolder folder = FormFolder.GetRoot();
folder.Add(survey);
}
else
{
FormFolder folder = new FormFolder();
folder.Load(FolderID);

folder.Add(survey);
}
}

Where folderId is the id of the sub folder you would like to add the survey too.

Thanks now it showed up.
