InfoPath Dev

Hi,

 I have a document library with a content type of an infopath form attached to it. I want to create a new document in the library using c# but not sure how to create an instance of the infopath.

 any ideas?

 Cheers.

Hello nollaig,

there are different methods to accomplish this task. One way is to create a class in C# using the XSD application.The XSD tool is part of the .NET framework tools. You can use it to generate a common language class from the XSD file representation of the InfoPath form. If you want to check out this please have a look at the following for a good sample:

Another way is to use a Console Application and classes in the System.Xml and System.IO namespaces to programmatically generate the XML for the InfoPath form. Here is a sample for this method:

Or you can use the empty xml as a blank placeholder form that you can copy programmatically whenever you want. Please look at the following link for a sample.

Hope you will find a working solution for you...
