Hi,

I'm trying to programmatically upload an forms template using the following code. If I run the code in a console application it works fine but the same code is not working if I execute under sharepoint context through Webpart code. I'm getting System.SecurityException access denied error. I'm running the code with elevated priveleges. The form template file is first downloaded to a temp folder(c:\users\administrator\AppData\Local\Temp) and then I'm uploading the file from this path. thanks in advance for your reply.

FormsService localFormsService;
SPFarm localFarm = SPFarm.Local;
Int16 formTemps;
try
{
FormTemplate temp = new FormTemplate();
localFormsService = localFarm.Services.GetValue (FormsService.ServiceName);
localFormsService.FormTemplates.UploadFormTemplate (@"C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\expensereport.xsn");
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
Console.Write("Press Enter to Continue");
Console.ReadLine();
}

I haven't used this web service, and I don't know if it's the cause of your issue, but does that Console.ReadLine() need to be there?  Would it accomplish anything in your webpart?

Console.ReadLine() is just an example. Ignore that line.

I'm not sure if I need to run this code with farm admin privilege within my web application???

Ok, and are you saying that the code works in loading the template from C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\expensereport.xsn when you run it from the console, but not in a webpart?  I'd think it's very likely that the ShP server process wouldn't have access to the Administrator temp folder.

Hi Jimmy,

Could you tell me how to give permission to the process for that folder?
