How to copy data from a secondary data source (SharePoint list) to a repeating table in the Main data source of an InfoPath form

If you are looking for a code solution (C# or Visual Basic) on copying data from a secondary data source (a SharePoint list in this case) to a repeating node (for example that of a repeating table) in the Main data source of an InfoPath form, I’ve just published the following article: Programmatically copy rows from a SharePoint list to a repeating node in the Main data source in InfoPath

Enjoy!

Update Jul 4, 2009:
While you can use code that loops through a repeating table – as discussed in the article referenced above – you can also use an XSL transformation to copy the data from one repeating table to the next in one step.

I show you how to do this in the following article: Copy a SharePoint list to an InfoPath repeating table using XSLT.

If you’re just starting out working with repeating table, I highly recommend that you try to get up to speed with the basics of repeating tables first, before attempting to write code to manipulate their data.
