InfoPath Dev

Hi Experts,

I have created one form in InfoPath using WebService as data sending and receiving medium. When I have developed this page in my local environment I have used web service from my local development environment.

Now I want to send it to customer where they will test this form's functionality. But they will refere to other URL location, so how can we replce that localhost url to their production web service url.

Any kind  of suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Adv.

Hi,

 You need to assign the url of the web service dynamically, See the sample code below: 

                EmployeeInfoService.EmployeeData EmployeeDataServiceObject = new EmployeeInfoService.EmployeeData();
                EmployeeDataServiceObject.PreAuthenticate = true;

                EmployeeDataServiceObject.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                EmployeeDataServiceObject.Url = SPContext.Current.Site.Url.ToString() + "/_vti_bin/EmployeeDataService.asmx";
                //EmployeeDataServiceObject.Url = new SPSite("http://ushouvmet02d:1000/").OpenWeb().Url.ToString() + "/_vti_bin/EmployeeDataService.asmx";

I need to do this too, but I'm not using Sharepoint.

I've been doing it manually in Visual Studio - first publishing to my test web site then updating all the datasource URLs and re-publishing to the prod web site. This is tedious, especially since VS then creates new versions of all the xsd and xml files in the solution which causes grief with Source Safe.

 Is there a better solution?  I don't see where the code above would go...

Hi,

 Keep all your configuration items in a SharePoint list and access them from this list. So same configuration list you create it in the production environment with the same name.

Thanks, but as I said, I'm not using Sharepoint.

where exactly you are publishing your form? You said web site. Is it not SharePoint web site?

Publishing to a normal IIS website. Not Sharepoint.
