passing authenticated user creds to infopath

[DeMarkus Webb]

I’m trying to create a template that will automatically populate the user's
name (last and first name) when opening a form template on SharePoint.
Currently I’m using the Project Plan template and I want the text box Project
Owner to display the name of the individual currently logged on. Any help
you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hope it helps you.

you can use this in your managed code or call a webservice to do it for
you.

using System.DirectoryServices;
public string GetActiveDirectoryName()
{
DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher("mailNickname=" +
System.Environment.UserName + ")");
SearchResult sr = ds.FindOne();
DirectoryEntry person = sr.GetDirectoryEntry();
return person.Name;
}

if you just want the username use System.Envirnment.UserName;

Kaylan,

Thanks for responding. I have read three different ways to do this;
however, I am trying to stay away from editing the code. I am trying to use
the web service within SharePoint to pull the users data into infoPath.
This is the error I get when when typing in the location of the Web Service.

"The file is not a valid XML file.
The form contains XML that cannot be parsed:
A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found.

Line 11, Position 16
<Title ID=onetidTitle>Error</Title>"

I'm not sure where this error is taken place, if you have any knowlege or
input on this, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

I am also facing the same problem. XML parsing error. Please help out.

Going by what the error says, "onetidTitle" should probably be quoted as in:

<Title ID="onetidTitle">Home - FinClosure</Title>
