Re: Opening Form using C# code

lyntonS — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 06:03:59 GMT

Thanks for the help. Thus far I have the code as follows. I am working with C# and InfoPath 2007:

[InfoPathEventHandler(MatchPath = "btnSubmit", EventType = InfoPathEventType.OnClick)]
public void btnSubmit_OnClick(DocActionEvent e)
{

IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction oXML = thisXDocument.DOM.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"");
IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction oPI = thisXDocument.DOM.createProcessingInstruction("mso-application", "progid=\"InfoPath.Document\"");
thisXDocument.DOM.insertBefore((IXMLDOMNode)oPI, thisXDocument.DOM.firstChild);
thisXDocument.DOM.insertBefore((IXMLDOMNode)oXML, thisXDocument.DOM.firstChild);

// Open a solution from a XML DOM
// Create a new DOM
IXMLDOMDocument newDoc = thisXDocument.CreateDOM();

string myXml = "<txtInput></txtInput>";
newDoc.loadXML(myXml);

// Call NewSolutionWithData to open a new Form and load the XML
XDocument oXdpostingForm = thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolution(@"C:\Program Files\bSOLVe_LS_Publish\PassingParameters.xsn");
XDocument oXdreceivingForm = thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolutionWithData
("C:\\Program Files\\bSOLVe_LS_Publish\\Source_ParametersReceived\\template.xml",
@"C:\Program Files\bSOLVe_LS_Publish\ParametersReceived.xsn",
(int)XdDocumentVersionMode.xdFailOnVersionOlder);

To continue with the problem - I design the form in one folder and publish and install it in another form. I get the following exception though?

InfoPath cannot create a new, blank form.
The system cannot find the path specified.

at Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.XDocumentsCollectionWrapper.NewFromSolutionWithData
(Object varXMLData, Object varSolutionURI, Int32 dwBehavior)

PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
NewFormSolutionMethod is used to create an InfoPath form from a form template
ex: objIP.NewFromSolution ("C:\My Forms\MyFormTemplate.xsn")

Apply a Rule on Button
Steps to follow:
1. Click on Rules button in Button Propeties dialog box
2. Click on Add button in Rules dialog box
3. Click on Add Action button in Rule dialog box
4. Select Open a new form to fill out in Action drop down
5. Enter the path from where the form is to be opened in Form Id or Location
6. Click on Ok button 4 times to close all dialog boxes

Check this link to pass parameter from another form

Opening Form using C# code

Please can someone help me with the following. How do you open a form using the FormCode.cs page and the 'Rule and Custom Code' action under the button properties window? Is is possible to pass a form a parameter from another form?
