InfoPath Dev

I have an Infopath project in VS.NET, My solution contains the Form project and web reference to the web service. I defined in the web service-> properties -> URL Behavior=Dynamic. That's action create to me this line in the App.confige file:



<add key="MyWebService" value="http://MyServer/FolderName/service1.asmx" />

When I added the web reference I get file called reference.cs whitch contain this code:

public Service1() {



string urlSetting = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MyWebService"];

if ((urlSetting != null)) {

this.Url = string.Concat(urlSetting, "");

}

else {

this.Url = "http://MyServer/FolderName/service1.asmx ";

}

}

This code supposed to search the key "MyWebService" in the App.config and to get it's value. But it's not work. When I debug it I see that the "if" condition not happen and it's go to the "else" section. I want that the Web service URL will be taken from the key in the App.config!!!!!

By the way this is the way I create the web service in my code

WSname.Service1 s=new WSname.Service1();

How to do it??

In InfoPath the way to set any data is to put it in a seconary DOM and read that data. This data can be changed easily by exporting it out changing the data and importing it back in.

About having a config file to have this data -> the App.Config file for a regular C# code is renamed as app.exe.config, For an Infopath solution the C# code is made into a dll. You can try by renaming the file to app.dll.config and checking if that works. This is just an idea to try out, I personally have not tried this and cannot say for sure that it will work.

It's not help

You can have the URL in a secondary dom. OnLoad of the solution get the data from the secondary DOM and then set the URL for "s" using this. This is a much better way than to have the URL in app.config for an InfoPath solution.

How to create the secondery DOM ?

Add a Dataconnection to an xml file which contains this data.

Can you send to me the code of this xml file, please?

This can be your xml file
<ConfigurationXML>
<URL>http://MyServer/FolderName/service1.asmx</URL>
</ConfigurationXML>

I created the Dataconnection to this xml file. What to do next? how to use thid Dataconnection in my form?

It's easy, just select it in the Data Source drop down and start binding UI controls to it. Or, you can access it via your code.
