passing data from asp.net page infopath

[Baskar.G]

1)Is it must infopath be installed in client machine,for
filling out the infopath form?. Is any other alternate
way is there to fill out a infopath form. If possible
how?

2)Some articles says Data can gathered in the browser-
based forms,(using asp.net forms) then moved into the
InfoPath forms. How this can be done?

Thanx in advance

(1) Yes, the client machine will need InfoPath installed in order to fill out
the forms

(2) To pass data into an InfoPath form from an asp/asp.net page simply
create the xml document file the form would normally generate with the data
you want to "pass" in and then render it. The XML should contain the same
processing instructions that InfoPath includes (location of template and the
fact that InfoPath is the application)

Look at http://aspalliance.com/515 - it might help you with the processing
instructions part.
