Beginning InfoPath™ 2003

14.4. Summary

One of the areas that InfoPath forms don't cover using the user interface is the manipulation of dates. Even in JScript there are hoops you have to jump through, meaning additional code you need to write, to handle cases where months and years overlap. You learned how you can take care of this using C#'s DateTime methods to handle any date manipulation needed. You also learned how to handle additional tasks such as sending a form using scripting and creating context-sensitive help using a custom pane.

There is virtually nothing you can't accomplish using InfoPath forms with scripting or managed code. Of the two language platforms scripting is provided by InfoPath, but C# gives you more flexibility.
