Is it possible to automatically sort data objects in manifest file? It is not very important when a form has a few data connections, but would do be very preferably when it has a lot of. It seems to Infopath always sort data connections by modifacation date.

Hello, We try to sort xml data using approach of Assets Tracking sample. They say it takes for a considerable time to sort for about a hundred nodes (20 seconds on Celeron 1.8). It looks a litle bit strange as there are no any complex calculations in the solution. Is it possible to optimize this approach?

Well, I just was sure of such kind of function is. Having two expression box is a good solution :)

Thank you, Greg, it works. But the new script file does not appear in the project explorer of MSE. It seems this file is read only when the form is opened in design mode. I close a form every time when I need to edit and save the additional script. Is it possible to open it in read-write mode during designing the form?

Hello Matt and thank you for reply! I do it now in exactly the same way as you say, but I supposed it would be rather use calculations than condition formating when an expression box is in repeating table.

Hello, I need help to create a simple formula in an expression box. It would return two values for choice depending on boolean expression. For example, function ''iif (bool, ValTrue, ValFalse)'' returns ValTrue if bool is true else it returns ValFalse.

quote:Originally posted by Shanthi Yes you can have multiple cs files in a single InfoPath solution. But what specifically do you mean when you say code modules? ''js'' files are exactly what I had in mind. By default Infopath solution has single ''script.js'' file. I would like to add one more ''js'' file to the solution but I can't find way to ...

Is it possible to create multiple code modules for a single Infopath form? It would be very necessary when code is large.

There is a solution of creating autoincrement field in main data source using ''../preceding-sibling::my:item'' expression in ''How To''. But I need such kind of field in secondary data source. It has a dummy field intended to populate by identity values in Infopath. Yes, it is possible to get identity values from data server, but it is not ...

I have a parent node which has multiple child items. One of child items is used as ''IsChanged'' indicator. So, when any child is changed, ''IsChanged'' field would be changed to true. One can solve this task by specifying the same function in ''OnAfterChange'' handler of every child items besides ''IsChanged'' field. But I want to use ...
