Populating Drop Down List Box in InfoPath 2007

Generally when we have to populate data in the drop down of InfoPath we generally follow the resource file way which is present at following link. But there is another way also for that work.

For that we have to follow below steps:

1. We have a list in SharePoint from which we have to fill data in drop down box.

2. Goto control in InfoPath drag a drop down list box in the form.

3. Goto data source in InfoPath add group in the datasource like as follows:





4. In this repeting group add the two Field Displayname and Value.

5. For Display name, from data source right click on Group, and click Add



6. Similarly follow 5th step again for “Value” field. The group looks like that



7. Then goto DropDown List Box propeties and opt the follwoing option :



8. Select the newly added repeting group in the xpath in the entries field. Also select display name and values from the repeting group.





9. Open the code/event where to write the code for populating the drop down.

10. Write the following code:

public void PopulateDropDown()

{

try

{

SPSite Rootsite = SPContext.Current.Site;

SPWeb website = Rootsite.OpenWeb();

SPList SharePointList = website.Lists["Customers"];

SPListItemCollection SharePointListItems = SharePointList.Items;

XPathNavigator XMLDom = this.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Group", this.NamespaceManager);

foreach (SPListItem Item in SharePointListItems)

{

XPathNavigator NewCloneNode = null;

NewCloneNode = XMLDom.Clone();

NewCloneNode.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Group/my:Displayname", this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(Item["AccountName"].ToString());

NewCloneNode.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Group /my:Value", this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(Item["Desktops"].ToString());

XMLDom.InsertAfter(NewCloneNode);

NewCloneNode = null;

}

NewCloneNode.DeleteSelf();


NewCloneNode = null;

}

catch

{


}

}

Benefits:

1. Don’t have to delete again and again the filled nodes in the drop down.
2. Less code work (Smart Work).
3. Performance increase.

Writing SQL queries in the SharePoint Content Databse

To write SQL Queries in the Content database. We have there are Two Views in SharePoint internal Content Data Base
1) Lists 2) UserData

SO to get content of the list From SharePoint List say Tasks, then
in query we have to write:

select nvarchar1,nvarchar3,nvarchar4 from UserData where tp_ListID in (
select tp_ID from Lists where tp_Title = 'Tasks');


You can get all the data when you query is executed.

Some Query Example

-- Query to get all the top level site collections
SELECT SiteId AS SiteGuid, Id AS WebGuid, FullUrl AS Url, Title, Author, TimeCreated
FROM dbo.Webs
WHERE (ParentWebId IS NULL)

-- Query to get all the child sites in a site collection
SELECT SiteId AS SiteGuid, Id AS WebGuid, FullUrl AS Url, Title, Author, TimeCreated
FROM dbo.Webs
WHERE (NOT (ParentWebId IS NULL))

-- Query to get all the SharePoint groups in a site collection
SELECT dbo.Webs.SiteId, dbo.Webs.Id, dbo.Webs.FullUrl, dbo.Webs.Title, dbo.Groups.ID AS Expr1,
dbo.Groups.Title AS Expr2, dbo.Groups.Description
FROM dbo.Groups INNER JOIN
dbo.Webs ON dbo.Groups.SiteId = dbo.Webs.SiteId

-- Query to get all the users in a site collection
SELECT dbo.Webs.SiteId, dbo.Webs.Id, dbo.Webs.FullUrl, dbo.Webs.Title, dbo.UserInfo.tp_ID,
dbo.UserInfo.tp_DomainGroup, dbo.UserInfo.tp_SiteAdmin, dbo.UserInfo.tp_Title, dbo.UserInfo.tp_Email
FROM dbo.UserInfo INNER JOIN
dbo.Webs ON dbo.UserInfo.tp_SiteID = dbo.Webs.SiteId

-- Query to get all the members of the SharePoint Groups
SELECT dbo.Groups.ID, dbo.Groups.Title, dbo.UserInfo.tp_Title, dbo.UserInfo.tp_Login
FROM dbo.GroupMembership INNER JOIN
dbo.Groups ON dbo.GroupMembership.SiteId = dbo.Groups.SiteId INNER JOIN
dbo.UserInfo ON dbo.GroupMembership.MemberId = dbo.UserInfo.tp_ID

-- Query to get all the sites where a specific feature is activated
SELECT dbo.Webs.Id AS WebGuid, dbo.Webs.Title AS WebTitle, dbo.Webs.FullUrl AS WebUrl, dbo.Features.FeatureId,
dbo.Features.TimeActivated
FROM dbo.Features INNER JOIN
dbo.Webs ON dbo.Features.SiteId = dbo.Webs.SiteId AND dbo.Features.WebId = dbo.Webs.Id
WHERE (dbo.Features.FeatureId = '00BFEA71-D1CE-42de-9C63-A44004CE0104')

-- Query to get all the users assigned to roles
SELECT dbo.Webs.Id, dbo.Webs.Title, dbo.Webs.FullUrl, dbo.Roles.RoleId, dbo.Roles.Title AS RoleTitle,
dbo.UserInfo.tp_Title, dbo.UserInfo.tp_Login
FROM dbo.RoleAssignment INNER JOIN
dbo.Roles ON dbo.RoleAssignment.SiteId = dbo.Roles.SiteId AND
dbo.RoleAssignment.RoleId = dbo.Roles.RoleId INNER JOIN
dbo.Webs ON dbo.Roles.SiteId = dbo.Webs.SiteId AND dbo.Roles.WebId = dbo.Webs.Id INNER JOIN
dbo.UserInfo ON dbo.RoleAssignment.PrincipalId = dbo.UserInfo.tp_ID

-- Query to get all the SharePoint groups assigned to roles
SELECT dbo.Webs.Id, dbo.Webs.Title, dbo.Webs.FullUrl, dbo.Roles.RoleId, dbo.Roles.Title AS RoleTitle,
dbo.Groups.Title AS GroupName
FROM dbo.RoleAssignment INNER JOIN
dbo.Roles ON dbo.RoleAssignment.SiteId = dbo.Roles.SiteId AND
dbo.RoleAssignment.RoleId = dbo.Roles.RoleId INNER JOIN
dbo.Webs ON dbo.Roles.SiteId = dbo.Webs.SiteId AND dbo.Roles.WebId = dbo.Webs.Id INNER JOIN
dbo.Groups ON dbo.RoleAssignment.SiteId = dbo.Groups.SiteId AND
dbo.RoleAssignment.PrincipalId = dbo.Groups.ID
