Display login user name on InfoPath form automatically

The GetProfileByName method returns a PropertyData array. You can think of it as a repeating table of name and value pairs.
So Now that you have a data connection that can get the current users, you can use it values. In this example I will show the user's first name in a textbox.

1. Add a textbox to the form.

2. Go to the first textbox's properties (double click it).

3. In the 'Default Value' part, click the 'fx' button next to the 'Value' field. this opens up the formula builder dialog.



4. Click 'Insert field or group'.


5. In the data sources drop down, choose the GetUserProfileByName data source.
6. Expand all groups under the 'dataFields' group, and choose the 'value' field. Don't click OK yet!
7. With data 'value' field selected, click the 'Filter Data...' button and 'Add...'.
8. In the first drop down (value) select 'Select a field or group...' and choose the 'Name' field under the 'PropertyData' group.




9. Leave the middle drop down as is ('is equal to') and in the last drop down choose 'type a text...'.


10. This is the part where you specify which property to put in the textbox. As we said the method returns multiple properties about the user. For this textbox we want to put the user's first name in, so type 'FirstName' (this is case sensitive!). I have included the property list you can use here (just below), so if you want some other property, just type its name instead.

11. That's it, all we have to do is to confirm everything so Click 'OK' for every open dialog box until you are back in the design mode.

12. click 'Preview' and see the wonder!

13. If you want more details repeat steps 1-11 and enter different property names in step 10.
Finally, as I Promised, here is the complete list of default profile properties get returned by the userprofileservice.


I think they are pretty self explained:
