I'm wondering if it's possible to use the data view web part available in sharepoint designer on a page without having to customize or 'unghost' the page?
Yes, this is feasible and check the following steps
1. Create a sample web part page and add the dataview web part through sharepoint designer.
2. Now the sample web part page is unghosted. Export the web part from this web part page
3. Delete the sample web part page
4. Create a new web part page and import the web part
This way we can leverage the data-view web part without unghosting (or) customizing)
I'm currently working on a project that involves the modernization of lotus notes application to SharePoint-InfoPath stack. We are facing a scenario where we need to pass data between the two InfoPath forms Form A and Form B.
I was wondering whether InfoPath supports any form of state management. After a bit of research. the following blog post says it's feasible
http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/02/26/passing-data-into-a-form-input-parameters.aspx
The idea is to pass data as the Query String Parameter from Form A to Form B like the followinghttp://www.testsite.com/formb.xsn?param1a=1¶m2a=2 In the code-beside of the Form B, we need to receive the parameters like the following. string bazValue = e.InputParameters["param1a"];string bizValue = e.InputParameters["param2a"];
Note:-
This works for browser InfoPath enabled 2007 forms too. VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Application) needs to be used to wire the above logic inside the Form_Loaded event. I'm not sure whether this is the optimal way. If anyone has found a better way for InfoPath State management, please update me
