Re: Annotations from the XML-schema in the form

Annotations are not directly supported within InfoPath forms--however, you can use code to load the schema into a DOM and then pull the annotations out via selectSingleNode(), etc., and do things with them that way.

Annotations from the XML-schema in the form

I#%92ve build a Infopath 2003 form from a XML-schema. In the schema I have annotations to a set of list values, I would like these annotations to been show in the form. Se below for the XML-schema:

<xs:simpleType name="_datatypeType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="NUM_001">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Explanation of the enumeration value ” </xs:documentation></xs:annotation>
[...]
</xs:enumeration>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

How do I get the form to show the value of the annotation documentation field? When I direct to the data source in Infopath I can only get the enumerations e.g. as a drop down list, but no way to see the accompanying annotations.

Is there any way to show both?

I've allready installed SP2.

Hope that I#%92ve come to the right place for expert answers ;)
