MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / October 2005Reload the complete form from a lookup
I think I read somewhere before that it's possible to reload the whole primary DOM from an existing form (with a 1 liner). We are expecting to lookup form contents from the database, transform it into the form schema using BTS and then reload it from the XML document lookup result. Is this a feasable plan? Will the InfoPath part of reloading be slow? Is there a code sample one could refer to? Thanks in advance  SignatureAnton If you receive new XML for your form and you want to replace the old XML, select the root node, and do a parentNode.replaceChild() on it with your new XML root node.

Thanks in advance SignatureAnton I found a code sample such as this: IXMLDOMDocument tmpDOM = thisXDocument.CreateDOM(); tmpDOM.loadXML(strMyData); thisXDocument.ImportDOM(tmpDOM); which supposedly would achieve the same effect but be faster? >If you receive new XML for your form and you want to replace the old XML, select the root node, and do a parentNode.replaceChild() on it with your new XML root node. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Thanks in advance SignatureAnton I haven't tried that. You'd have to do some performance testing to see which is faster. If you do such testing, will you please report back your findings here? Thanx!
