How to fill infopath form programmatically using c#?

Hi,
I have a form library in my share point site. Programmatically i need to fill some fields. Can i do that? If any one know please provide me some sample code. First i need to retrieve the infopath document and then i need to fill the fields. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I just made tow rough functions, just add below functions and use it.
// Get the value
public string getNodeValue(string path)
            XPathNavigator root;
            string temp;
            root = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
            temp = root.SelectSingleNode(path, this.NamespaceManager).Value;
            return temp;
// Set the value
public void setNodeValue(string path, string value)
            XPathNavigator root, infopathNode;
            root = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
            infopathNode = null;
            infopathNode = root.SelectSingleNode(path, this.NamespaceManager);
            infopathNode.SetValue(value);
where path is the xpath of your node. It looks like "/my:myFields/my:theValue"
where value is the value you'd like to fill
Oh, I can change my signature from My Settings page!!

How to Close InfoPath Form After Submission When Two Buttons Exist?

I have an browser-enabled InfoPath 2010 form that has two views and a submit button on each view. The form would correctly submit and close the form using one button on the form until the second button was added. After adding the submit button on a second
view, the second button submitted/closed but the behavior on the first view changed so that the form no longer closes after submission. I’ve researched this and have not yet found a solution to allow closing the form after submission for one of the buttons.
Things I’ve tried:
- I’ve attempted creating multiple submit data connections for the different buttons
- Specifying different Submit Options
- Try closing the form with the code
- Add another button to the non-closing view
- Add duplicate Rule actions to "Close this form: No Prompt"
Settings:
Button rules:
- Submit using data connection: SharePoint Library Submit
- Close this form: No Prompt
Button Properties:
- Action > Rules and Custom Code
The form Submit Options:
- Send form to a single destination (a form library)
- Choose a data connection for submit (SharePoint library submit)
- Advanced > After Submit: Close the form
Advanced form options:
- Filler Features: all items unchecked (not allowing Save, etc.)
- E-Mail Attachments: uncheck Enable InfoPath e-mail form functionality for this form template
Resources:
When considering programmatically submitting and closing the form, I understand from this article that the Rules run before code and I can’t close the InfoPath form programmatically by writing code behind a button that has a rule set on it:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/01/how-to-programmatically-run-code-close-infopath-web-form/
Discussion of creating a custom Save and Submit buttons for InfoPath browser forms:
http://markhaverty.com/sharepoint/custom-save-and-submit-buttons-for-infopath-browser-forms/

what if you need to switch views?
I have the same problem in a similar situation. I created a test button to narrow down the cause. the button submits data & closes the form fine. however when I add a rule to switch views before the submit & close rule, it
breaks. Submit still works but it no longer closes the form. If I disable the switch-view rule, then it closes fine.
I tried added another rule to switch back to the main view but that didn't help.
switching views is an integral part of the workflow b/c I want to email the alternate view upon approval & then close the form. So removing that rule is not a good answer unfortunately.

How to have Infopath form use Sharepoint Domain credentials

I have built a for in infopath which is published to a library on Sharepoint 2013. This form is filled out by certain users and when its completed it gets moved into a subfolder. We then provide a link to a client who has a domain account with restricted
access to just this folder of sharepoint. They can view this form and any others we put in this folder.
The form has 2 views. The first is the view our staff sees when filling it out. There are some hidden sections in there for us that the client does not need to see. So there is a second view which is read only and I have taken away the option for them to
switch views so they can't go back to our internal view.
What I would like to happen is that the form can somehow detect by the domain login info from sharepoint, what user is opening the form and switch views based on that. What I can't figure out how to do it to have the form pull domain credentials from the
sharepoint site and use those a a variable when opening the form to set the view.
I believe I am on the right path what trying to setup a data connection but I am just missing something. I found this great guide http://www.pointgowin.com/seethepoint/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=55 but now when I open the form I get a warning stating "You
do not have permissions to access a SharePoint list that contains data required for this form to function correctly." Also I still can't seem to pull the username.
Can someone help me out? Point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to have Infopath form use Sharepoint Domain credentials.
When you use Claims-based authentication, your user name is prefaced by “0#.w|”. So for example, if your user name is SuesDomain\jdoe then your Claims-based user token will be, without
the quotes: “0#.w|SuesDomain\jdoe”
InfoPath can’t handle that, or more specifically, the UserProfile.asmx method GetUserProfileByName method can’t handle that. InfoPath tries to pass in your Claims-based user token instead
of your domain\User Name.
You have an authentication problem where the currently logged in user is not allowed to hit the web service, so you get an Access Denied 401 authentication error
To resolve the issue, you can refer to the great blog:
SharePoint 2013, InfoPath and Claims – GetUserProfileByName

How to create Infopath form that auto populate data from one list to be fill by another user?

hi. I would like to ask, how to create form that fill by User A, for example, and then the User A assigned task to User B to complete the form. Next, the form will be approved by approver. May I know how to do
that? and if possible, I do not want to use any programming code.
Azuaniza Ariffin

Hi,
If your SharePoint environment supports InfoPath Forms, then you can customize the form and add rules to make the list items as read only when user A submits the form.
you can then write a form load event to check the logged in user using username() function. This logic can be implemented in variety of ways, like setting a flag when User A submits the form, or storing user A username in a form variable etc., else comparing
User A and User B values within form Load event.
Another way of doing this is using Views or grouping all of the User A fields within a section etc.,
The above would take care of Form logic, and for the workflow, you can use SharePoint designer to create a custom workflow, where it will run on onItemCreate and onItemChange events.
The logic for workflow would be if the form Submitted for the first time, the workflow will start and send an email to User B, and when User B submits the Data then onItemChange change event will start the workflow to send an email to approver to approve
the data.

How to fill PDF form programatically

Hi everyone,
We are automating a web application using QuickTest Pro. In some scenarios we need to fill a PDF form and click 'submit' button. Is there any way we can use Acrobat SDK to automate this process? I really appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Why Yes! There are several ways to pre-fill a PDF. Which technique depends on where the data comes from and where the PDF is going.
For example, a PDF can be filled in Acrobat using an Acrobat data file such as FDF, XFDF, or XDP if it's a LiveCycle form. This can be done manually through the menu items or automated with JavaScript, or with a batch process. And there are lots of other variations on how data files can be used. Of this methodology assumes that the data file already exists. The data file can be manually created by exporting data from Acrobat or automatically by some external custom program.
Acrobat JavaScript can also used to access Excel and database files:
http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/department48.cfm
and LiveCycle forms can be connected directly to a DB.
http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/34.cfm#XFADBForms
Depending on the kind of data, JavaScript can be used to directly fill in forms. This method is suiltable for handling a small number of fields, such as customer contact data.
On the server side there is a whole host of third party tools for filling forms and of course Adobe has tools as well. In fact PDF form data handling is built into ColdFusion.
The Acrobat plug-in SDK has a Forms model for just this purpose and there is an ActiveX interface to Acrobat that can access individual form fields.

Can i know ,how to publish the form template to use both template versions and it should open the form with wahatever the template it used for creation.
Thanks in Advance.
Anil Kumar K

Hi,
If you want the InfoPath forms for displaying the items in the list, then I recommend to click Customize Form button in the ribbon of the list to edit the form in InfoPath and then publish the form back to SharePoint.
After that, you will see there are three new forms(displayifs.aspx, editifs.aspx, newifs.aspx) when you view the list in SharePoint Designer.
Then you can create the custom action to navigate to the custom InfoPath form:

Creating Infopath forms programmatically - unable to update promoted columns in the library

I referred to the following article and was able to create the forms successfully.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/33228/Programmatically-create-a-browser-enabled-InfoPath
But, I noticed that the generated Xml looks a bit different than if I'm creating the document through Sharepoint directly,
for example, a snippet of the generated Xml (through Sharepoint) looks like:
<my:Employee>
          <my:LastName>Test</my:LastName>
          <my:GivenName>Test</my:GivenName>
          <my:EmployeeNumber>1</my:EmployeeNumber>
</my:Employee>
but it looks like the following when I create the document from my C# code:
<Employee>
      <LastName>Test</LastName>
      <GivenName>Test</GivenName>
      <EmployeeNumber>1</EmployeeNumber>
</Employee>
The issue that I'm noticing is that if I chose to publish some of columns (when I publish the form to the sharepoint site) then
the columns will not show the values (I'm guessing that is due to the missing "my" before the fields).
Is there a way to work-around that? or am I doing something incorrect on my side?
Thank you,

Here is a complete method for creating a new infopath form and updating some columns of the new form using sharepoint client object model:
        public string AddNewForm(string WebUrl, string NewTitle)
            string strMsg = "";
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(WebUrl))
                return "Empty URL!";
            try
                // Starting with ClientContext, the constructor requires a URL to the server running SharePoint.
                using (ClientContext client = new ClientContext(WebUrl))
                    //client.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                    // Assume that the web site has a library named "FormLibrary".
                    var formLib = client.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("FormLibrary");
                    client.Load(formLib.RootFolder);
                    client.ExecuteQuery();
                    // FormTemplate path, The path should be on the local machine/server !
                    string fileName = @"D:\Projects\FormTemplate.xml";
                    var fileUrl = "";
                    //Craete FormTemplate and save in the library.
                    using (var fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open))
                        var fi = new FileInfo("newForm.xml");
                        fileUrl = String.Format("{0}/{1}", formLib.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, fi.Name);
                        Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(client, fileUrl, fs, true);
                        client.ExecuteQuery();
                    // Now we are going to update new form fields.
                    // Get library columns collection.
                    var libFields = formLib.Fields;
                    client.Load(libFields);
                    client.ExecuteQuery();
                    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File newFile = client.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(fileUrl);
                    ListItem item = newFile.ListItemAllFields;
                    // Here the index of Title column is 9, you may use this form to update any column (even promoted fields).
                    // To find the index of interested column you should inspect libFields at debug mode, look in the libFields.Fields collection to find the index!
                    item[libFields[9].StaticName] = NewTitle ;
                    item.Update();
                    client.ExecuteQuery();
            catch (Exception ex)
                strMsg = ex.Message;
            return strMsg;

How to find Infopath form Libaray Attachment field Saving location?

Hi All,
I have Infopath customized form Lib and have 5 attachement fields in it. How can i find location where the attachment are getting stored?
Velu K

Hi,
According to your description, you want to know that
where the InfoPath form attachments stored.
InfoPath attachments are stored as pieces of text called base64 encoded strings within the InfoPath form itself.
Here is a link, you can use as a reference:
