Thank you very very much

Yes, this gave me back what I needed.

Best regards,

Hello,

XPathNavigator pi = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/processing-instruction()[local-name() = 'mso-infoPathSolution']");

will get you an XPathNavigator to that processing instruction. Would that be sufficient for what you need to do?

Hello Jimmy

I am trying to use one content type in couple of libraries.

I am trying to get the name of the library where the form is used in as content type (find .xml file created based on this content type) so I can do some actions accordingly.

So, from this above example you gave, how would I say

xmlDoc.Load(THIS);

so I can then proceed with accesing XmlProcessingInstruction, so I can obtain href field from

<?mso-infoPathSolution productVersion="12.0.0" PIVersion="1.0.0.0" href="some path" />

for every instance of this content type no matter of is location

thank you in advance

Calling the preservation before loading the xml worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Hi,

Interestingly the place where you call PreserveWhitespace matters, the msdn article says

"If PreserveWhitespace is true before Load or LoadXml is called, white space nodes are preserved; otherwise, if this property is false, significant white space is preserved, white space is not.

If PreserveWhitespace is true before Save is called, white space in the document is preserved in the output; otherwise, if this property is false, XmlDocument auto-indents the output."

See if this was what you did

What method are you using to do the changes. I am using this

                nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("xsf", gXsfNamespace2003);
                nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("xsf2", gXsfNamespace2007);

                XPathNavigator nodePathToModify = manifestXML.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(PathToModify, nameSpaceManager);
                nodePathToModify.SetValue(ValueInxPath);

hope this helps...Because in some of trials, I was getting the same result as it is doing with your xsf file.

When PreserveWhitespace is not set, the manifest file is saved in this format:

<xsf:property name="namespace" type="string" value="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2008-07-29T15:31:35">
</xsf:property>

and I have errors because there are spaces within the opening and closing tags. It should look like:

<xsf:property name="namespace" type="string" value="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2008-07-29T15:31:35"></xsf:property>

But when I set PreserveWhitespace to true, the manifest file's xml is compressed into one line like:

<xsf:fileProperties><xsf:property name="namespace" type="string" value="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2008-07-29T15:31:35"></xsf:property><xsf:property name="editability" type="string" value="full"></xsf:property><xsf:property name="rootElement" type="string" value="myFields"></xsf:property>

This is causing errors as well.

Is there any middle ground?

Any one down this path remember to use "XMLDocument.PreserveWhitespace = True". gave me night mares, until I used this before modifying the manifest.xsf file.

Wow, this is perfect. I owe you a drink when I visit Japan!

That's because they're not DocumentElements; they're processing instructions. To get at a processing instruction, you'll need to do something like this:

            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
            xmlDoc.Load(@"C:\template.xml");

            XmlProcessingInstruction ipPi = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("processing-instruction()[local-name() = 'mso-infoPathSolution']")
                as XmlProcessingInstruction;
            if (ipPi != null && ipPi.Value.Contains("CertFormPub") &&
                !ipPi.Value.Contains("Prefix-FormName"))
            {
                ipPi.Value = ipPi.Value.Replace("CertFormPub", "Prefix-FormName");
            }

            xmlDoc.Save(@"C:\template.xml");

There's no easy way to get at the attributes inside a processing instruction, so you're probably best off doing the string processing on the whole PI value.

This works great, thanks Jimmy.

Now this is interesting... when I try the same method against template.xml in order to replace the name attribute value in

<?mso-infoPathSolution name="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:FormName:-myXSD-2008-06-30T14-56-08" solutionVersion="1.0.0.575" productVersion="12.0.0" PIVersion="1.0.0.0" ?>

it is not able to find the attribute. The XmlDocument class must not be recognizing these as DocumentElements and I don't see any member of XmlDocument that would let me get at the name attribute in a <? ?> node. Is there a way?

This should be all you need:

            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
            xmlDoc.Load(@"C:\manifest.xsf");

            XmlAttribute nameAttr = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.Attributes["name"];
            if (nameAttr != null && nameAttr.Value.Contains("FormName") &&
                !nameAttr.Value.Contains("Prefix-FormName"))
            {
                nameAttr.Value = nameAttr.Value.Replace("FormName", "Prefix-FormName");
            }

            xmlDoc.Save(@"C:\manifest.xsf");

Below is what I have so far. I want to replace "FormName" in the xsf:xDocumentClass name="..." attribute with "Prefix-FormName", write it to manifest.xsf and save it.

                XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
                XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(@"C:\manifest.xsf");
                while (xmlReader.Read())
                {
                    if (xmlReader.NodeType.Equals(XmlNodeType.Element) && xmlReader.Name.Equals("xsf:xDocumentClass"))
                    {
                        while (xmlReader.MoveToNextAttribute())
                        {
                            if(xmlReader.Value.Contains("FormName"))
                            {
                                string urnAttribute = xmlReader.Value;
                                urnAttribute.Replace("FormName", "Prefix-FormName");
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Do you have any experience working with the XmlDocument/XmlNode classes? Can you show us the code you have so far so I can fill you in on the necessary missing steps?

Re: Get Attribute of xsf:xDocumentClass Node in manifest.xsf

Middle step seems like it should be easy but that's what I'm having a hard time with

How do I change the name="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:FormName:-myXSD-2008-06-30T14-56-08" attribute for the below xml node?
