InfoPath Dev

This may be more of an Excel question than InfoPath, but this forum has always been very useful and perhaps someone can help. From an InfoPath form I use an OpenFileDialog to open an Excel workbook and then retrieve some data to put in xml.  Afterwards I close the Excel file.  The problem is that until InfoPath is completely ...

Yes, I've had to use that one, as well.  Sometimes, that still doesn't seem to do the trick and I have to republish the template, and then re-extract the source files before it will work.  Also, double-clicking the manifest file can sometimes trigger the template update (the "keep form on your computer" vs "replace ...

Hi tomasz, This one sounds all too familiar. Try this first: close Visual Studio and open the manifest in design mode (right click on the file).  Try to preview the form from there.  Sometimes that will give you a more detailed error message, say, if one of the components or required files is missing.

Anyone know of a way to 'catch' a cancelled form signing?  In my OnSign() event handler, a signature is manually created and then applied: Signature thisSignature = e.SignedDataBlock.Signatures.Create(); thisSignature.Sign(); Sign() doesn't return anything, so is there a way to know whether the user cancelled or if they ...

Greg, Jimmy, thanks for your input! I did find a workaround for it.  If my custom validation fails, I set a field value in the newly opened form (Form B) to "Abort".  From the opening form (A), I can check this field value and if it is "Abort" I can close Form B from there using one of the methods above.

Thanks, Hilary, but I am getting a build error when I try that. When I type just "this." in visual studio, the intellisense brings up the list of all of the methods and members of the current class.  Is there something I need to do to make the this refer to the current document and not the current class? I just remembered that, ...

2007 and C#

Well, I just tried making a new viewbut when I try to switch to it in OnAfterChange I get the error: ""InfoPath cannot execute any view-related object model calls. The view is not ready."  I think I am stuck.

I have two forms.  Form A has a link that opens Form B.  When B is opened it verifies some various user input, which is done in Form B's OnAfterChange() event code.  If the verification fails I want to close Form B.  I have tried all of the ...

Hi Jimmy, I suppose I should have been more clear about my expectations of count(). I've seen this post by Greg before, and use xdExtensions multiple places.  They work in rules and filters, but if I try in an expression box I receive the error "Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'xdExtension'." I was able to ...
