Thanks Elliot! Great to get feedback. I will pass it on to Vani and Matthew. Greg played an important role in this book too as our technical reviewer.
Let me know if you have any questions or find any bugs in the book.

Hi Srinivas,
Welcome to the board. Sounds like a by design issue. You can paste HTML, but I've never heard of anyone trying to copy ASP/ASPX code into the designer's canvas. Check out UniqueWorld's InfoView for a cool implementation of the reverse though.
Ciao,

Hi Scott,
Welcome to the board! There is no Form ID property that I know of. You'll want to write some code to generate a GUID. If you're using .NET this is straightforward. For JScript, you'll need to create your own pseudo-generator. We use the following quite a bit:
string sGuid = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
and then set it into the ...

Perhaps you have an XPath issue. Have you tried replacing your hardcoded xpath with a relative one? I'm not exactly sure, since I can't see your schema.
Hope this helps!

Good luck!

This is one of the big limitations of InfoPath. There is no good cross-development environment. Best thing to do would be to go to File->Extract Files to extract contents of each xsn to 2 separate folders and then use a diffing program like windiff to see the differences. You'll have to manually merge but extracting should help. To reload in ...

Good idea! We use Web services a lot for this kind of thing.

Interesting scenario and one that I have not heard of before. :) I wonder if you can't make it https on both internal and external? Another idea, would be to make the solution URN-based. Use the Regform tool. Then, the XML files won't have a URL in the name. The downside is that users will have to install the form, and auto-update won't work.

What do you mean by ''traditional web/winform binding methods to InfoPath controls''? You can call SQL via code (.NET) and populate dropdown boxes directly. You will need to load the resulting dataset into an XML DOM. That's not terribly difficult but it requires some time.
