If so, localhost is correct. However, that won't work when you have to roll it out to a server that you want other people to access.<br /><br />Why do you need to write code? Just use the Data Connection wizard to add the parameter based on the field in your form.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/17581.aspxThu, 08 Feb 2007 16:12:55 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:17581snufse0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/17581.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=48&PostID=17581I have a form that have an identification number. Thet number is an employee code and I have already written a web service that retrieves the employee name. This is the 1st time I work with InfoPath.<br /><br />I am trying to do a programming interface on the ValidateEvent for the "identificationNumber" field where I need to call the web service and return the name of the employee. I put the employee's name into the "name" field in the form. <br /><br />Step 1: I click on the "add a web reference". That takes me to the Add Web reference pop-up screen. I locate the the URL (<b<a target="_blank" href=http://localhost:3035/WebServiceTest1/Service.asmx>http://localhost:3035/WebServiceTest1/Service.asmx</a>)</b> and then click "add reference" button.<br /><br />The value "localhost" appears in the reference field even if my web service is "WebServiceTest1". Is this correct? I changed the reference to "WebServiceTest1" which is the actual web service. Is this ok?<br /><br />Step 2: I now write my code like this. <br /><br /><b>Imports WebServiceTest1<br /><br />Public Sub identificationNumber_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As XmlValidatingEventArgs)<br /> Dim MyWebService As New WebServiceTest1.Service<br /> Dim MyString As String<br /> MyString = FormState("_identificationNumber").ToString<br /> MyString = MyWebService.GetEmployeeName(MyString)<br /> FormState("_name") = MyString<br /> End Sub</b><br /><br />Does the code seem to be correct? How do I test and execute? Can anyone help? Thank you. <br /><br /><br />
