Hello everyone...here's my dilemma...

I have a drop-down list dynamically created from a SharePoint list of
different picture filenames.  The value of each of the item is the
exact URL path to each picture.  When the user selects a picture name
from the list, how do I get Infopath to automatically suck that
picture from the URL into a picture item.

I'm only able to get it to work if I set the picture as a link only,
but I want the picture to be part of the form so that it can be viewed
offline as well.  So is there a way, programmatically, to get InfoPath
to suck in a pic from the selected URL and store it as part of the
form, not as a link to the pic?

Thanks everyone!

Regards,
Tony

GET the data from the URL w/XMLHTTP and store it w/nodeTypedValue.

If you want the picture to be part of the form, you need to base64 encode
it, then stick it in like any other value.

This link has a snipet on how to base64 encode images using C#.
