Re: Automating Infopath Template Publishing

Shravan — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:45:36 GMT

I am looking into InfoPath 2010 Add-ins (ie Ribbon controls developed in Designer view) using Visual Studio 2010. I was trying to automate a simple publish mechanism and happened to see this blog over the internet. I have a working process which isn't clean enough and am looking for a better solution. Could you explain how you read the Template file path right off the Designer, coding for the Add-in?

Hi Whizzy,
We have started working on this but haven't finished. If you need it done asap, send me some email (sales@infopathdev.com) with some idea of what it's worth to you. Otherwise, we'll have a tool for everyone out on the site for a small fee later this week or next.
Thanks for your support!

There was recently a good article on the MSDN blog with some example code showing how to do this, but we should probably put a tool on our website.

We'll look into creating a deployment wizard for this scenario over the weekend.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the reply Patrick, by any chance would you have the link to the BLOG that I could check out?

Thanks again.

Automating Publishing Infopath form

whizzy — Thu, 07 Jul 2005 19:47:26 GMT

Hey there, InfoPath newbie here.

We have implimented a sharepoint portal and some infopath forms at my organization and publishing it seems to be quite the task.

The reason that its somewhat of a pain is that we have to:

1. Publish it to a web service
2. Publish it to 5 sharepoint libraries.

Is it possible to automate the publishing process other than using the wizard.

Its always being published to the same links, just the name of the xsn file is being changed.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
