Promotion of columns on a Full Trusted InfoPath Form

[Zafrir Lapidot]

Hello,

Here is my problem:

A. I'm using a InfoPath form which activates an onLoad event -
implemented with .net managed code - to get the current user name and
to send it to a web service in order to get back from Active Directory
the user full name which is displayed on one of the form fields.

B. I have faced many problems, all related to my opinion to security
issues. the most popular one was WebPermission Exception. so i
followed the InfoPath SP1 SDK article - "Deploy a fully Trusted Form
to a SharePoint Form Library.

This has solved all the security problem i have faced and finaly the
user full name was displayed in the form.

C. The Form requires to promote some of his fields as columns to the
SharePoint site. but since i have deployed the form on template
library by putting an xml file on the Forms folder under the site and
not by regular publish from the InfoPath menu bar - those columns are
not published and i cannot find a way to connect them to the site
template.

Does any one can help about this?

Try this:
1) Publish the form (untrusted) to a temporary sharepoint site.
2) Open the form library in explorer view.
3) Go to the "forms" directory.
4) Copy the properties.xfp file to your machine.
5) Go to the "forms" directory on your real site.
6) Copy the properties.xsf file from your machine.
