InfoPath Dev

Franck...the first thing I am going to do in the morning is see if I can just publish a completely dummy form, with NOTHING on it, and see if I can prove if it the network. Still I find this ''opening'' dialog very interesting and would like to learn a little bit more on what it is all about. I just posted this article, hopefully it will help. ...

OK, so whether the form is cached or not to start with doesn't improve performance. For the sake of arguments, can you comment out your event handlers (except OnLoad) and see if that has an effect? Franck

I found this great article going over the entire InfoPath architecture at a high level. Highly recommend for any newbies out there...

Yes there are a couple. Specifically I have a couple event handlers. For example, there is a repeating table that has a list of parts. If the user enters in a part number, a webservice is called to retrieve all of the associated part information from a mainframe system no less :-) I understand that those events will be handled when the from ...

Hi Jason, Do you have a lot of event handlers in your code behind? Regards, Franck Dauché

Nope. We are seeing the performance issues prior to any code being executed (as far as I can tell). On a side note, we were using AD to retrieve user information via a web service but abandoned it because performance of the LDAP query was terrible. He to re-implement the user verification to pull from a DB.

Will do!

Do you have any role specified views on the form, being validated by the AD? I've found that this can slow down the loading.
