Hi,

I am learning how to program InfoPath in VS.NET. I cannot modify a textbox's
text in C# code. I tried:

txtName.Text = "Alan";

But it doesn't compile. Perhaps InfoPath UI programming is totally different
from WinForms development. Could you give me some clue how to do that?

Thank you,

Alan

Hello,

you don't have access to the UI at all (except for XDocument.UI.Alert and
such things). To modify content in textboxes you must modify the underlying
xml:

XDocument.DOM.SelectSingleNode("my:Fields/my:Text").text = "Lorem Ipsum";

Of course, you have to use a valid XPath expression...
