How to Write Code in InfoPath 2010

A common way to submit InfoPath forms to a SQL Server database is to use a web service. The following demo shows the solution presented in recipe 90 and recipe 91 of InfoPath 2010 Cookbook 3 that uses a .NET web service to submit the XML of entire InfoPath forms to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database table, and then retrieve the forms individually in a browser form in SharePoint 2010.

There may be times when you would like users to submit InfoPath forms to a SharePoint form library and then have SharePoint automatically assign a name plus a number in a sequential manner to the forms that are submitted.

The following demo shows the solution presented in recipe 99 of InfoPath 2010 Cookbook 3 that auto numbers InfoPath 2010 forms in a SharePoint 2010 form library with a name plus and an ID.

The following demo video shows you the completed solution of recipe 100 from InfoPath 2010 Cookbook 3 in which you will learn how to write C# code for a custom workflow activity to retrieve file attachments from an InfoPath form that is submitted to a SharePoint form library, add those file attachments as attachments to an email, and then send the email to users that were selected in SharePoint Designer 2010 when setting up the workflow.
