Re: Display RTF from secondary datasource

I got this working by having a rich text box bound to an HTML field in the main data source by using this code on form load:

string s = DataSources["REST Web Service"].CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/ns1:ArrayOfRisk/ns1:Risk/ns1:Details", NamespaceManager).Value;
MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field1", NamespaceManager).AppendChild(s);

But it is annoying having to have a redundant field in my main data source. If anyone knows a better way, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks

My data source is simply returning this:

What am I missing?
