infopath with vb.net

[Helpless New Guy]

Hi everyone,

I've just downloaded and installed the .NET toolkit for infopath. I was
just wondering if anyone know of any sample code out there for this?

and also,
I've created a form with a text area and a dropdownlist that fills data from
the database through a webservice, lets call it webservice1, I want to take
the selected value of the dropdownlist and pass that to another webservice
lets say webservice2, by using a button.

The problem is I can't figure out how to pass the value from the infopath
form to the vb form to pass to webservice2... which will eventually pass
back data to the infopath form to the text area..

Can any one offer any tips or suggestions please..

Thanks,
Kay

The key for getting data from your form into your code (or vice versa) is
that the XDocument.DOM is an (MSXML5) DOM, so you can use DOM methods like
selectSingleNode to get the associated node and read/write the value. You
can also use the DOM associated with the web service to set parameters.
