That means I have to extract the .xsn file and use the schema definition in this cab file? Is there any code snippet how this works?

Ofcource you need to have some schema, wich describes your template file. You may use your form library template to get this xml file instead webSite.Folders[libraryName].Files[0]...

Create new item in SP form library by code

Kun — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 18:23:19 GMT

How can I write custom code that creates a new item in a Sharepoint form library? The only way I find out is to open an existing item via the object model and modify its nodes. But what can I do if no file exists?

This is my current approach (that uses an existing file to create a new one):


            SPFile spTemplate = webSite.Folders[libraryName].Files[0];

            // reads the blank file into an xml document
            MemoryStream inStream = new MemoryStream(spTemplate.OpenBinary());
            XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(inStream);
            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.Load(reader);
            reader.Close();
            inStream.Close();

            XPathNavigator xpn = xd.CreateNavigator();

            xpn.SelectNode(...).SetValue(newValue);
