view infopath forms as .aspx forms
Hi
I'm new to sharepoint and infopath development. First of all, how I can quickly get started with these technologies. Some good links please?
Currently the forms are developed in infopath combined with sharepoint teamsite. A few of the clients do not have infopath installed on their desktops and hence the client wants to migrate a few of the infopath forms to webforms. The users would login to sharepoint team site, and would see all the infopath forms under the documents section. The user can fill out a form or edit the form. Currently when they do either of this, form opens up in infopath client. Instead they would ALSO want to see the form in a browser and be able to submit the form to the sharepoint server to save it. Is it possible to provide a webedit option in the documents window where the forms are listed? Can somebody offer me a technical solution to this? What are the webservices/APIs exposed by sharepoint to achieve this? Can I support all the features supported by infopath like version management, checkin/checkout etc. using webforms? How do I seamlessly migrate?
One way might be to use the xml/xsl contained in .xsn file and show the controls in a browser and while saving create an xml file having the same schema as that of a infopath form and submit back to the sharepoint server.
Any help, code samples is highly appreciated. There is a commercial sofware infoview.net available which I can't use in my project.
Regards
Rajesh
