InfoPath 2003 Developing Solutions

Course Description
Course Outline

Goal

InfoPath 2003 is a new addition to Microsoft Office that streamlines the process of gathering, sharing and using information, by enabling teams and organizations to create, share and work with rich, dynamic forms. The information gathered is easily reusable throughout organizations and across multiple processes because the native file format of InfoPath is XML. The ability of InfoPath to generate and consume XML makes it an easy platform to integrate and extend, allowing developers to create a variety of interfaces that connect and integrate with a wide spectrum of business processes and workflow.

Audience

This course is intended for the following audience Form designers - Those who create new or modified forms from their organization’s or customer-defined XML schemas, from sample XML data documents, or by defining a new custom data structure in InfoPath. Form designers graduate to developer status if they program InfoPath forms with script or, preferably, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft Visual C#. Form developers - Those who implement custom business logic by adding programming code that interacts with the InfoPath Object Model. Form developers commonly serve double-duty as form designers.

Prerequisites

A familiarity with the Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET 2003 integrated development environment (IDE) An understanding of Microsoft® Visual C#® or Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET A familiarity with Extensible Markup Language (XML) schemas.
