Re: Adding c# code to Form

I used to develop all the time using VS2005 and IP03... So long as you have the right adons you should be able to do this. Check under "Office" rather than under "Office/2003 Add-ins"... that's where you can create an InfoPath form template using VS05 and IP07.... don't recall if its the same for IP03.

Mike, unfortunately, I think you're out of luck here: you cannot develop with VS2005 and IP2003. Here is a post which has more details on this problem: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/5661/21207.aspx#21207

Greg, could you (or anyone else) help me find the IP03 C# project? I could swear I've got VSTO & VSTO SE installed in VS2005 Team Edition, but the only IP-related option I have is under Visual C# > Office > 2007 Add-ins. [Yes, the Visual C# > Office > 2003 Add-ins menu is also available, but it only contains Word, Excel, PPT, Outlook & Visio).

Thanks for any hints you can provide

Are you using InfoPath 2003? If so, Launch Visual Studio, create a new C# InfoPath project from there, and have it import your existing form that you've already started. Then you will be able to write in C#. You have to start from Visual Studio to use managed code.

If you have IP07, then if everything is properly installed you should be able to write in C# anyway.

How do I add some C# code to a form that I am working on? When I go to the Tools->Programming section I only see the Microsoft Script editor.

But if I start a new form, I see the VSTA add-in that I enabled. How to I get the existing forms that I have written to recognize VSTA as an option? I haven't actually written any code in either tool yet, so there is no information to lose if I switch from one to the other.
