Hi. I have changed the code and I am using this:

             rptTblNAV = Me.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator()
            rptTblNAV.SelectSingleNode("/my:AddRoom/my:rtbFloorsInUseGr1", Me.NamespaceManager)

            Gr1Nav = rptTblNAV.SelectSingleNode("/my:AddRoom/my:rtbFloorsInUseGr1/my:rtbFloorsInUseGr2", Me.NamespaceManager)
            'Gr1Nav = rptTblNAV.Clone()
            Gr2Nav = rptTblNAV.SelectSingleNode("/my:AddRoom/my:rtbFloorsInUseGr1/my:rtbFloorsInUseGr2/my:field0", Me.NamespaceManager)
            newValue = Gr2Nav.Clone()

            newValue.SelectSingleNode("value").SetValue("bla")
            newValue.SelectSingleNode("displayname").SetValue("bla1")
            Gr1Nav.AppendChild(newValue)

But at line

Gr1Nav.AppendChild(newValue)

i get this error:

Schema validation found non-data type errors

Can someone help pls? Thank you!

Hi. I am new with InfoPath and I have no idea how to start writing the code. I have binded the DDL to that table, but I do not know how to proceed further. Any tips? Thx.

I am trying to do this using this code:

             Dim i As Integer
            Dim newValue As String

            Dim Loc As XPathNavigator
            Dim templateNode As XPathNavigator
            Dim newNode As XPathNavigator

            Loc = Me.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator()
            Loc.SelectSingleNode("/my:AddRoom/my:ddlFloor", Me.NamespaceManager)
            Loc.SetValue("")
            templateNode = Loc.Clone()
            newNode = templateNode.Clone()

            For i = 1 To 2
                newValue = Convert.ToString(i)
                newNode.SetValue(newValue)
                Loc.InsertAfter(newNode)
            Next

I get this error:

Operation is not valid due to the current position of the navigator.

What does this mean exactly? Is it out of range or something? Thank you!

Qazi Anis is correct. InfoPath controls do not work like WinForm or ASP.NET controls. You cannot access them directly from code. If you want to modify the set of items a Dropdown list contains, you must bind it to a node in one of your data sources and modify that node.

Hi. Thank you for your answer. I do not get it. Why? Isnt just like an ordinary textbox except that it is a collection of items? Is not possible to just use somenting like .additem("da") or something similar? Imagine that i have a textbox a dropdownbox and a button. If i type "ONE" in the textbox, when I push the button I want the value "ONE" to be added into the DropDownBox, and so on. Must I bind it to a repeating table in this case? Thank you!

you will need to bind your dropdown to some repeating table, and add value to the repeating table through code.

Hi. I need to add some values in a dropdownlist using a customised code. What is the command for doing so. I have tried to find .Item or to use .Insert but it did not help.

If this is the item on the form

xnFormName = xnDoc.CreateNavigator.SelectSingleNode("/my:AddRoom/my:ddlFloor", Me.NamespaceManager)

How do i add values into it? Thank you!
