As a developer, I have to admit I have always had a love / hate relationship with InfoPath.  It worked well for some things but once you reached that point where you needed more, you had to scrap your entire solution and start over with something...
We had a great turnout last night for my talk on How the SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Services will change your life.  The talk went quite well despite the long wait times in SharePoint Designer 2010. :-)  I really enjoyed giving this...
I’ve been working with InfoPath again lately since I’ve been working with Document Information Panels and I thought I would share another quick tip today.  Observe the following .UDCX file. <? xml version =" 1.0 " encoding =" UTF...

I have been building a large number of InfoPath Form Templates in Visual Studio 2008 lately and I have discovered it is can be quite the exercise in frustration when you want to put your files in TFS (or any source control for that matter). There are...
After building a workflow recently, I noticed I was getting the following error whenever I opened the task form. An error occurred accessing a data source. I have seen the error in the past when trying to connect to an external web service when it was...
