What is InfoPath?

  • InfoPath is a Software application to create XML based Data entry Forms and targeted for end users and developers. 
  • The flexibility to create more sophisticated forms with little or no code is one of the highlighted advantages of using InfoPath.

Rules in Infopath:

A rule in InfoPath is an Action which takes place on an Event. An event could be a field value change. There could be multiple Actions for an Event.

Types Of Rules

Please note that there are three types of Rules:
  1. Validation Rule
  2. Formatting Rule
  3. Actions
    See this link for detail information Click here

InfoPath Forms Services Architecture:

  • IIS and supporting ASP.NET modules: Return HTML to the browser, make file requests to the Page Generator andConverter, and forward postback information to be processed by the Page Generator.
  • InfoPath Forms Services HTTP Handler: Forwards requests from the IIS and supporting ASP.NET modules and the Page Generator.
  • Converter: Converts form template (.xsn) files into solution modules and .aspx pages, caches solution data, and forwards converted files to the InfoPath Forms Services HTTP Handler.
  • Page Generator: Communicates with external data sources, stores and retrieves session state, retrieves initial data and solution modules, processes postback event log data, and returns data to IIS and supporting ASP.NET modules based on request from the InfoPath Forms Services HTTP Handler.
