InfoPath dev Environment

Hi

Just wondering if there are any best practices about InfoPath dev
environment/infrastructure?

When a team of people are working together on a InfoPath project. How to
manage source code of Web Service and InfoPath? Possiblly WSS and SQL? How
to manage the build process? How to setup the dev infrastructure so
developers can be in sink?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if there is something published on the Internet about that, in
the project that I am working on (VS.NET 2003 + InfoPath 2003 SP1 Preview)
there are multiple forms, used by more than one developer, and all of them
are saved in SourceSafe using a Nant scripts that we wrote (we wrote custom
check in / check out capabilities), otherwise there is a problem when you
use the from with SourceSafe, I think it is not fully implemented in the
beta.



Using it is simple, on the internal Windows Messenger, or by email, I will
tell every one that I will use that project, and no one must use it at this
time (limitation in the way InfoPath is designed, and our script).



And when more than one person is building a section we usually work on a
different sections in different temporary forms and then copy and paste
between the files (although I think we are losing the conditional formation
some times).



It is not easy right now becouse SP1 is beta; I hope they have something
about that when it is released.
