I mean design a new form template with a main datasource who combine (you can make 5 childs nodes) all the 5 mains datasources of the differents templates . He make this template with Infopath. After that he build his xml with his code to match to this new template. I never do that, but I think it can work.

if you need to repeat a textbox element, using a repeating control like a repeating section or a repeating table.

I am not sure what you mean by combining all theh 5 files of the infopath form template in one single xml string...

Hi mahmoudhamdy, Why you don't design a new Infopath form template with your 5 files template. If you build a xml file that match with that template, I think it can works.

Thanks Qazi

i know what you mean but in this situation all what i mean is that i am trying to repeat a textbox element inside the infopath form by generating it's string in the runtime appending it to right positions and save it.

what i want to do is to generate a infopath form by asp.net and download it by user request based on data from a gridview. so i think to combine all the 5 files of the infopath form template in one single xml string and render it to the user as an infopath form template.

i am sure that this is a different approach of dealing with data but it's must and i've got puzzled since week trying to achieve it. so if you have more information i will be much more thankful :)

Qazi aAnis:

No you cant design a blank template and assing any form to it, template is supposed to be a blue print for the form, the schema of the form and template should match,

Hi RRs,
If you have written code for throwing xml, can you post a sample here? It would be helpful for forum members.

Hi RRS,

One way to do this is throwing the appropriate XML file from your ASP.NET page. Details : Take the blank template.xml of the published solution that you want to show the user. Add the employee details into this xml file and then "throw" this xml file into the browser as attachemnt. User will get the standard "Open/Save/Cancel" dialog. When they click on "Open", InfoPath form will open with that xml.

InfoPath form dynamically from ASP.NET

rrs — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 14:55:36 GMT

Is it possible to serve InfoPath form dynamically from ASP.NET. I am using a webservice to popluate a datagrid on asp.net page and have a link button("Edit"). Once I click the link button the employeeid for that particular record will be passed to infopath form and I want the webservice to get the values for that id and display it on the form. Then, the user could make whatever changes necessary and post back to a web service from the infopath form by clicking the submit buton.

Is it possible with InfoPath. Can you guide me to right resource please?

Thanks,
RRS
