In spite of MVP urging, Microsoft chose not to invest in writing an SDK for 2007 and 2010. However, the 2003 SDK is still quite useful and can show you how to do what you want with .NET. The .NET object model changed in 2007 and again in 2010 but that doesn't really afect the code much but it will a little. You should be able to figure it out. 2003 SDK is one of the best resources out there even for 2010 forms.

Hi Slava,

Have you looked at the InfoPath 2003 SDK? It includes coding samples for how to programmatically add data connections. Click on Resources on the right and browse to find the SDK. Lots of good stuff in that.

Hi! I would like to know how it is possible to add data connection to webservice in InfoPath form programmatically (using info path object model). I would like to set all connections may be OnLoad form event. I only found how to retrive data from webservice with different params in existed connection(wich was added by using button DataConnections - Add).
