InfoPath Dev

When we use InfoPath Form Template in  Microsoft Visual Studio2005 is it possible to use Windows Forms Tool Box controls to the InfoPath form in Design mode.If it is possible could anybody explain how? Any help would be appreciable .Pls do help me

Regards Reeja

The only controls that can be used in the InfoPath form are InfoPath controls so the short answer to your question is "no, you cannot use Windows Forms controls in your form".

The longer answer is that you can display WinForms from your code so that win form can contain any WinForms controls. For example, you can display a winform as a result of a button click.

Finally, the logest answer is that you can actually get the controls into the view indirectly by wrapping them in an ActiveX control. However this is a very advanced topic so I would only recommend it if you're familiar with ActiveX development in .NET.

Thanks for the help,but then how can we display all the records of a table in a InfoPath form? I mean which control should be used.Or is there any alternative ? Please expalin, because I am really new to InfoPath.. My scenerio is I should be able to enter records of student details to a database using form and be able to show all the records in the table. In Visual studio it was possible using Grid View,but what about InfoPath?
