Hoping this posting is still active and that I may get a reply but, will this process work for a situation where an SP2010 farm is upgraded to an SP2013 farm by means of transferring the content database, along with all of it’s site collections and leaving those collections in SP2010 compatibility mode? We’re having issues with InfoPath forms and workflows no working properly, but the site collections and the associated InfoPath forms and workflows are still in SP2010 compatibility mode.
Great article by the way!

Can you point me to some instructions on how to publish an InfoPath 2013 form via Central Admin and then use features within sites to enable the forms for specific lists?
Other question: we are experiencing performance issues with InfoPath 2010 forms. Any pointers for troubleshooting? The list contains 180 columns of which 16 look-up columns. The page takes 6 seconds to load.

Suzanne,
Would you have a small sample InfoPath 2013 project that uses VS2012 to write code for say buttons? We develop in Visual Basic in VS2012 and thought this would be something simple to do and it’s turning out to not be. We have created a sample InfoPath project and when we try and code using VB in VS2012, nothing seems to work like we are use to. For instance we can’t even access say some radio buttons or text boxes on the InfoPath form. Is there any simple project you have that could try out?
Thanks.

Correct, it is not backwards compatible. InfoPath 2013 uses the .Net 4 framework and SharePoint 2010 uses 3.5

Hi Suzanna,
The code you specified to get the user profile information working with the infopath form, please advise where and how I insert this into my form.
Thanks

No you can’t develop infopath 2013 forms and use them in SP2010, the classes and .Net libraries are not compatible.

In 2013 are you using claims authentication? If so, I had several issues getting the user profile service to work. What I had to do was the following in the code behind…
public void FormEvents_Loading(object sender, LoadingEventArgs e)
{
string currentAccName = “domainName\\” + SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Name;
DataSources[“GetUserProfileByName”].CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(“/dfs:myFields/dfs:queryFields/tns:GetUserProfileByName/tns:AccountName”, NamespaceManager).SetValue(currentAccName);
this.DataConnections[“GetUserProfileByName”].Execute();
string querystr = “/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/tns:GetUserProfileByNameResponse/tns:GetUserProfileByNameResult/tns:PropertyData/tns:Values/tns:ValueData/tns:Value”;
XPathNodeIterator rows = DataSources[“GetUserProfileByName”].CreateNavigator().Select(querystr, NamespaceManager);
}

Can you use InfoPath 2013 to develop forms for SharePoint 2010? I ask because I’m running into some issues and it seems it’s not backward compatible for this type of env.
