InfoPath 2007, VS.NET and webservices

[Paul]

Hi,

Infopath 2007, VS.NET2005 sp1, web service.

We're putting together a proof of concept for our organization. The focus
is to use our central datastore (Oracle 9i) with INfoPath 2007 and web
services for our forms solution.

Short question:
I have an IP2007 form called ChangeRequest, and C# code-behind using
namespace "ChangeRequest". I have a web service that will return all related
to data for a given user. Using the IP2007 function "username", I can pass
the username to the webservice and then retrieve the related data. I don't
know how to connect the data returned to the InfoPath form. In .NET I'd add
a web reference, instantiate it, pass it the username parameter, and handle
the results from the webservice (something like: textbox1.text = .....) .

Does anyone have some sample code they can share that shows how to use the
code-behind with IP2007?

The Web service will return the user's fullname, office address, phone,
organizational context, supervisor, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Excellent!!

This looks like is exactly what I need to get up to speed on how to properly
code InfoPath via VS.NET.

Many thanks!
