Ok, let’s talk about the solution that how we can get Query string parameter in infopath 2010 form: Sharepoint 2010 have filter webparts that allows you to filter the page content by applying them, so I have use “Query string filter” webpart and set the properties of the Query string filter (Query string Parameter = <your parameter name>) . Filter Webparts could also send the data to different webparts placed on the same page.

Yes - it is possible - even without coding! Using SharePoint designer you can create custom looukup fields where you set your own filter on which elements from the source list which you want to display. What we will do is to insert our own drop down list instead of the standard lookup field. This drop down will fetch its values from a new data connection. Below is the steps to follow. Define your list with all the needed fields and lookups Create a new custom form(s) - you will need a new New and Edit form.  For details see this blog entry . Delete the existing List Form web part Add a Custom List Form to your page Create a new Data Source to use to get and filter your lookup data Open the Data Source Library IF your lookup list is NOT in the same site as your main list do the following Select Connect to another library (at the bottom of the Data Source Library window) Click Add Browse to the web site which contains the list with your lookup values Add a name to your so...

A MessageBox is a predefined dialog box that displays application-related information to the user. Message boxes are also used to request information from the user. To display information to the user in a message box Navigate to where you would like to add the code for the message box. Add code using the MessageBox.Show method.

Variables : Declaring our two variables is very easy. Simply type the following lines of code: int x; int y; "int" is the C# term for integer, a mathematical term referring to a number that has no fractions or decimal values. Remember -- our goal in declaring variables is to tell the .NET Framework Runtime to save a place in memory for our numeric values. After that we can access our variables. Expression : Type the following code: int x = 7; string y = "Bob"; string myFirstTry = x + y; Console.WriteLine(myFirstTry); Console.ReadLine(); If you run the application, you'll see that the console window prints out 7Bob. This is correct, because seven plus Bob equals 7Bob. Now, add the following code: int mySecondTry = x + y;

Expand the Common Controls list, and drag the Label control to your form. Also from the Toolbox Common Controls list, drag a Button control onto the form, near the label. Double-click the new button, button1, to open the file Form1.cs. In Form1.cs, look for a method called button1_Click. Method button1_Click is run when button1 is clicked. Add the following statement as the body of button1_Click. // Insert this line as the body of method button1_Click. label1.Text = "Hello, World!"; The complete method should look like this: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Insert this line as the body of method butto...
