## Definition

    <xsd:attribute name="useDataSet" type="xsf:xdYesNo" use="optional"></xsd:attribute>

## Remarks

Default is "no".

Use of the useDataSet attribute requires Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 Service Pack 1.

An ADO.NET DataSet cannot be used as a query parameter for the webServiceAdapter element or any other data adapter.

Note This item is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form defined by a form definition file (.xsf) that includes this item cannot be opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.

## Example

The following is an example of the useDataSet attribute as it is used in the webServiceAdapter element:

    <xsf:webServiceAdapter
     wsdlUrl="http://www.contoso.com/DataSet.asmx?WSDL"
     queryAllowed="yes"
     useDataSet="yes">
             ...
    </xsf:webServiceAdapter>
