Where did my form go in SharePoint 2010!?
- by MOSSLover
So I was working on an intro to development demo for the Central NJ .Net User Group and I found a few kinks. I opened up a form to custom in InfoPath and Quick Published it wouldn’t work. I imed my InfoPath guru friend, Lori Gowin, she said try to run a regular publish. The form was still not showing up in SharePoint. I could open it and it knew my changes, but it would just not render in a browser. So I decided to create a form from scratch without using the button customize form in the list. That did not work, so it was google time. Finally I found this blog post: http://qwertconsulting.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/list-form-from-infopath-2010-is-blank/. Once I went into the configuration wizard and turned on the State Service everything worked perfectly fine. It was great. See I normally don’t run through the wizard and check the box to turn all the services on in SharePoint. I usually like a leaner environment plus I want to learn how everything works. So I guess most people had no idea what was going on in the background. To get InfoPath to work you need the session state. It’s doing some type of caching in the browser. Very neat stuff. I hope this helps one of you out there some day. Technorati Tags: InfoPath 2010,SharePoint 2010,State Service
