Are you using full trust form?

This code is working for me in a normal form.

Thank you Anuma for the code snippet to work with. When i add this code to my infopath .cs form i get Security Exceptions(System.Security.SecurityExceptions to be exact) thrown on the following lines:

XPathNavigator xnDateTime = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1", this.NamespaceManager);
XPathNavigator xnUserName = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2", this.NamespaceManager);

Do I have to create a certificate for this source to run on my machine? From your experience what are we looking at for my users who use this infopath form? Is there a work around just so that I can test it? Is there an alternative solution for having to have a signed certificate for this form?

Hi,

Double click on the button and click on "EditFormCode" button. Copy Paste the below code.

XPathNavigator xn = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();

XPathNavigator xnDateTime = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1", this.NamespaceManager);

string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("yy-mm-ddThh-mm-ss");

xnDateTime.SetValue(currentDate);

XPathNavigator xnUserName = xn.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field2", this.NamespaceManager);string currentUser = System.Environment.UserName.ToString();

xnUserName.SetValue(currentUser);

Field1 ---> Datetime field

Field2 ---> Username field.

If you want to display the only time in the Datetime field, then use below code:

string currentDate = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss");

Hi,

You can set username to textbox by using following code. Write this in button onclick event.

SetNodeValue(“/my:myFields/my:field1”,System.Environment.UserName);

Use conditional format on button so that if all the text boxes are not blank then disable button.

Here field1 is textbox control.

Hopes this helps.

Creating a sign off button

Hi all,

I am creating an infopath 2007 form that my users will fill out and submit to a WSS 3.0 (not a MOSS portal site) site. The form will have a section for the user to click a button and sign off on the form. The functionality I am trying to accomplish is the following:

Click on a button to sign off on the infopath form
The button will add the users name (preferably first and last) into a text box
The button will also add the current time into a text box
The button will become disabled and the textboxes will be read-only.

I should also mentioned that I am creating a "managed code" form with Visual Studio 2005.

My struggles have been:

Getting the User Name to even display
Understanding the life cycle of an infopath form.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or some guidance as to whether or not what I am trying to accomplish can be pulled off in sharepoint.
