Looking for sample code for calling web service

[OMAF-Terry]

Below is my method (C#). Could someone please post the code to call the web
service onLoad of an InfoPath form?

=============================================

[WebMethod (Description="Get the full name of the InfoPath form user.")]
public string getCurrentUserFullName(string localUserName)
{
DirectoryEntry entryFullName = new
DirectoryEntry("LDAP://ou=people,dc=something,dc=on,dc=ca");
DirectorySearcher dsFullName = new DirectorySearcher(entryFullName);
dsFullName.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + localUserName + ")";
dsFullName.PropertiesToLoad.Add("givenName");
dsFullName.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn");
SearchResult resultFullName = dsFullName.FindOne();

if(resultFullName == null)
{ return "Error finding username using Active Directory. Please
contact the help desk.";
}

string strCurrentUserFullName =
resultFullName.Properties["givenName"][0].ToString() + " " +
resultFullName.Properties["sn"][0].ToString();
return strCurrentUserFullName;
}

Hi,

The easiest way to accomplish this is to setup your web service as a
"Secondary Data Connection" and when you walk through the wizard, the last
screen provides an option to automatically get the data upon load of the
form.

I hope this helps!

Scott, thanks for the reply.

I have another data connection using this method that works great but I need
to pass System.Environment.UserName to the service which returns a value.

Not sure how I would accomplish that using the add data connection method or
am I missing something?

Hi,

If I understand what you need, you should be able to do something like the
following:

- Add the web service as a data connection (receive data)
- In the OnLoad event, set a variable to the result of
System.Environment.UserName
- You can then use the GetDOM method to get a reference to the secondary
data source and use code to pass in the variable
