Hi Eugene,
Are you saying that it crashes when you publish? Is that from inside the Designer? I've never heard of this, but I think the debug error may offer some clue here. Can you copy something to thehttp://.../ location using some other tool?

Thanks you for quik answer.
It is working now, I had to change http header.
I have another problem.
When I publish my form to the localhost it is working fine.
When I'm trying to publish even to same host but with IP address likehttp://###.888.999.000/Folder/ggg.xsn Infopath ask me to login with my network login and password, publish form, but this form crashes when I'm trying to run it.
It asks me to report to Microsoft about the error and if I click debug button gives me some memory cennot write error.

What I'm douing wrong

Thanks

Eugene

Sorry , disregard prev posting, I clicked submit by mistake.

Thank you all.
What I'm trying to do is:
I created an xml from My Infopath form as template, I read this xml file row by row
I set Response.Context type to "text/xml" and
Respond.writeln(row); in the loop
After I flush Respond.
on the client side I have dialog save/open,
but when I select save Infopath starts to open and give me the message:

Infopath cannot open following File: WebForm1.aspx. The file is not a valid XML file

with details:
The form contains XML that cannot be parsed:
A name was started with an invalid character.

Line 1, Position 2
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="EvalAsp.WebForm1" %>
-^
Why it is send .aspx file instead of .xml file?
Is it possible to avoid it?

If I save file as .aspx, change extension to .xml InfoPath form is fine
I guess some thing wrong with HTTP header ?

Thanks

Eugene

Hello Eugene
To throw the xml you will need to build it as per what you InfoPath solution is expecting it to be. This code can be used to talk to DB also. Its just that the data that you recieve from the DB needs to be appropriately molded so that you have the correct xml that you want to throw with you.

Thank you Agni, but my case is a little bit different
My infopath form connected to database and I do not want to save xml file at all.
Can I generate output stream from ASPX with content of the xml document inside,
the browser will understand "xml" and open infopath form on client side ?
Thanks

Eugene

Hi Eugene,
"throw xml into the browser as attachment" means, we will send an xml file to the client as an attachment to the response.

Here is the code to throw an xml to open in InfoPath
Note: Code is in c#

//xmlDoc should be your InfoPath form xmldocument
string xmlContent = xmlDoc.OuterXml;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Form.Xml");
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", xmlContent.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.Write(xmlContent);

Hope this Helps!

Thaks for reply.
Agni, I checked the link, looks like it is good idea, but could you please explain what does it mean "trow xml into the browser as attachment"

Patrik I got your book, but on page 278 is nothing about asp, maybe the page number is wrong ?

Thanks in advance
