I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer 8. It includes an HTTP POST submit button. Once the user clicks the button, how do I access that submitted data? (I'm in a Visual Studio 2005 C# website and want to do something with that data. I know how to reference a field on a web form, but how do I get at that data that was submitted?) I'm familiar with the field names that get spit out of Adobe in an xml or csv file.... do I just use one of those?

You need to write a server script to handle the data. Since you already have VS2005 you can write an ASP script to do it.

The form data is in the body of the HTTPRequest. The data format will be in the "ContentType" field of the header.
