I was wondering how I would access form controls in Visual Studio. I have a form that queries a SQL database and returns records. What if I wanted to take a database value for example and do string manipulations with it before displaying it in the text box? Why can't I call any of my controls on the form in Visual Studio?
Thanks.
You can do this using the xpath of that control. If you are using Infopath 2007, then go to data source and right click on the field. You will find copy XPath. Click on this and paste in a note pad. You will see the path of that field.
