Patrick,

Hopefully you won't mind following up on a question about an old post.

You wrote that publishing Full Trust forms is a bad practice. I'm curious about this in that I want to write managed code for a form and publish to our SharePoint site. Is there a paper, blog entry, etc. out there that explains why I should avoid fully trusted forms? Also, how do you work around full trust if you need access to the user's resources? Is that possible?

Thanks for any clarification you can give.

Hi Shayrlz and welcome!

Yes, but you will need to sign them with a certificate or create a MSI package to deploy them to desktops and save the template.XML to the SharePoint site. In general, you shouldn't have to be Full Trust. It is a bad practice, so please examine why you are making your form Full Trust carefully. There are very few valid scenarios for Full Trust. 99% of all forms we develop are not Full Trust. :)
