Pro InfoPath 2007

EBook Description: InfoPath enables users to design forms and publish them for use by other users. It combines the ease of use of Access forms with the enterprise scalability of a network-based platform. Microsoft's goal with InfoPath is to get form design and maintenance out of the IT shop and onto the desktop, while maintaining the power of connecting to web services or a SQL Server. Since InfoPath is wholly XML-based, it is easy to introduce it into a heterogeneous enterprise environment -- via web services InfoPath can act as the interface for any back end system. InfoPath 2007, coupled with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, adds the ability to deploy InfoPath forms in a web browser with no client side application. SharePoint and Office 2007 have leveraged InfoPath in many other ways -- making InfoPath forms part of the workflow engine embedded in SharePoint, and using InfoPath forms to capture and maintain arbitrary metadata in Office documents. Pro InfoPath 2007 was written so that developers can read it as an introduction to InfoPath 2007, as well as use it as a reference for common tasks. Targeted at developers, power users should also find a lot of value in this book to learn how to design and use forms in InfoPath.

Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 offers breakthrough tools for gathering, managing, and integrating business-critical information, and creating efficient forms-driven processes. Two longtime members of Microsoft's InfoPath product team have written the first comprehensive, hands-on guide to building successful XML-based solutions with InfoPath 2007.

The book opens with a practical primer on the fundamentals of InfoPath form template design for information workers and application developers at all levels of experience. It then moves into advanced techniques for customizing, integrating, and extending form templates--with all the code examples and detail needed by professional developers.
Learn how to:
* Design form templates: create blank form templates, insert and customize controls, use advanced formatting, and construct and lay out views
* Work with data: start with XML data or schema, manually edit data sources, and understand design-time visuals
* Add custom business logic to forms, and integrate them with other applications
* Retrieve and query data from external data sources, including XML files, databases, SharePoint lists, Web services, and ADO.NET DataSets
* Submit and receive form data using ADO.NET
* Save, preview, and publish to e-mail, SharePoint, and more
* Build reusable components with template parts
* Create workflows with SharePoint and InfoPath E-Mail Forms
* Administer Forms Services and Web-enabled form templates
* Build advanced form templates using C# form code, custom controls, add-ins, and the new InfoPath 2007 managed object model
* Design form templates using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO)
* Update, secure, and optimize your form templates

Beginning InfoPath 2003

* InfoPath creates forms for data gathering, analysis, and reporting
