Hi,
i think your hints are going into the right direction. I tried to put it to
work, but still think there is a missing link. I try to explain what i tried
to do.
As i exlpained before i need to populate a dropdown field with the content
of sharepoint users. Therefore i call a sharepoint webservice named
"GetUserCollectionFrom Site". This is the first Datasource which should be
updated, when i call the form. The problem is, that it doesn't return a
repating group for the rows., so that i can use it directly.
Therefore i need a second Datasource, which is an XML definition with
repeating groups, which takes the first one as input, reads it an produces
the correct output for the dropdownfield.
In the c# code the loading of the second datasource from the first one has
to be done. In IP2003 it is done with the code seen below.
Perhaps this makes it a little more clear what should be done and you can
give me another hint in the right direction. Hope you'll excuse that i am not
too familiar with all this xml stuff at this stage of learning.
But thanks for your attention so far.

Here's another way to fill a drop-down in IP07:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/inf...populate-drop-down-list-box-infopath-2007.htm
The code snippet you listed is not easy to translate one-on-one from
InfoPath 2003 to InfoPath 2007, but here are some pointers to get you started
if you want to attempt to convert it.
To get a reference to a secondary data source, you must use the DataSources
object (see
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/infopath-basics-main-secondary-data-source.htm).
There is no loadXML on an XPathNavigator object, so you'll have to try to
use ReplaceSelf (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xpath.xpathnavigator.replaceself.aspx)
or WriteSubtree (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xpath.xpathnavigator.writesubtree.aspx) depending on what you're trying to do.
The InnerXml property on an XPathNavigator will provide you with the ".xml"
part in your code snippet.

Hi,
i am fairly new to Infopath and not a very good coder. For a problem we have
with filling a dropdownlist we found a solution, but based on IP03. We need
the following line of code in the OnLoad Event:
thisXDocument.DataObjects["DummyUsers"].DOM.loadXML(thisXDocument.DataObjects["Users"].DOM.xml);
Can anybody tell me what this has to look like in IP07 ??
What i already learned is that thisXDocument doesn't exist anymore. But i
have no idea where to look at to get this right.
