InfoPath Dev

You don't when using "C# (InfoPath 2003 Compatible)". You need to use "C#" and not "C# (InfoPath 2003 Compatible)". They are very different programming models. The one you have currently selected knows nothing about "MainDataSource".

The control you are looking for is the Repeating Choice Group and inside that, the Choice Section.

First, nodes have two useful properties (well really just the one): .text and .nodeTypedValue. Basically the first is useful and the second does essentially the same thing. So trying to set .date (which doesn't even exist) won't help you. Second, XML expects date in the sortable format, which is "yyyy-MM-dd", so setting a ...

Be sure the select this check box. When you open the form offline, a dialog box will appear stating that it failed to connect to the data source and ask ...

katies12, Your code fails to take into account relative XPaths. They are all using absolute XPaths. Relative means from the point of origin, while absolute means from the top/beginning.
