Hi 

 I need to know how to open an .xsn form from visual studio 2005 in infopath 2007 but it must open in design mode. I don't want to go to tool and click design this form.

 Currently I am opening the form like this:

            ApplicationClass app = new ApplicationClass();
            app.XDocuments.NewFromSolution(@"c:\MyForm.xsn");

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

We don't have option to open MyForm.xsn file in design mode using code. If you want we have to open using tools and design form. Otherwise we can open directly MyForm.xsn in design mode using right click -> Design.

If we try to open using below code it will open .xml file,

Application.XmlForms.NewFromFormTemplate(@"C:\MyForm.xsn");

 Hi Shiva

 Thanks for the reply. I don't think it's possible to do what this company wants me to do.

They want a base infopath template where people have a block of code that others can go in and add their own buttons and text boxes and whatnot and compile it all and then save it on the server. But they want to control this all through C#. 

Not sure it's possible if you can't open the form in design mode. Guess I will just have to suggest to them that they must update the file and then upload that file to the server via C#.

 Will look for some other solution then

Thanks
