Dear colleagues,
I am trying to get InfoPath to receive and to submit a .NET dataset from/to a Web service. The good news is that InfoPath SP1 now obviously supports data sets, outdating the information at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=822020. There is even a nice introduction to using data sets, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../en-us/odc_2003_ta/html/odc_landinfo03_tr.asp. I've tried it, and it works.
The bad news is that this do-it-yourself-lab seems to be the only documentation available. If you look at the manifest file generated during the lab, you can see that the XSF-schema must have changed.
<xsf:webServiceAdapter wsdlUrl="http://localhost/WebService1/Service1.asmx?WSDL"
queryAllowed="yes" submitAllowed="no" name="Main query" useDataSet="yes">
....
</xsf:webServiceAdapter>
The "useDataSet"-attribute is new, it is not documented in the schema reference found in the InfoPath 2003 software development kit. This leaves me with a couple of questions:
-- what is the exact purpose of the "useDataSet"-attribute?
-- is there more documentation available on using data sets with InfoPath? I mean complex data sets, with several tables and relations between them.
-- where can I find the new XSF-schema (a file that should be named "sd.xsd")?
Thanks for any help! Wendelin
