Hi,

Is there any way to insert value-display name pair in Drop down box
programmatically at runtime?

Thanks,

Hi ,

Many thanks for the reply.

The code in the article works great but my problem is slightly different. I
need to insert the values in drop down without any manual intervention.



I have created a custom control which can be placed on any InfoPath form.
The control can access the InfoPath’s document model. I am able to read and
write values in a text box through that control but not in a drop down box.
To summarize, I want to insert data into drop-down box from code behind dll
(in C#) without making any manual changes in the template files. Is there
any work around for my problem?



Thanks,

Gaurav
