Remarks

The Add method is used to create custom error messages in a Microsoft InfoPath form. There are two types of errors that can be created using the Add method:

modelessThe user is notified of the error with an inline alert and can choose to return to the previous value with an undo operation
modalThe user is notified of the error with a dialog box alert. After clicking OK in the dialog box alert, the error will appear as an inline alert and the user can choose to return to the previous value with an undo operation

Note: Custom errors can also be created using the ReportError(Object, String, Boolean, String, Int32, String) method.
