FormTemplateCollection.UploadFormTemplate Method
Uploads an InfoPath form template to a server farm.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Administration
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server (in Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub UploadFormTemplate ( _
solutionPath As String _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As FormTemplateCollection
Dim solutionPath As String
instance.UploadFormTemplate(solutionPath)
public void UploadFormTemplate(
string solutionPath
)
Parameters
- solutionPath
Type: System.String
The path and file name of the form template (.xsn) file.
Remarks
Uploading a form template does not make it available for use in SharePoint site collections. You must use the Activate method to make it available for use in site libraries. It is a good idea to use the VerifyFormTemplate method before uploading the form template if you have not previously verified that the form template can be browser-enabled.
Note
The UploadFormTemplate method does not return a FormTemplate object. Use the value of solutionPath with the ItemFromFile method of the FormTemplateCollection to set a variable equal to the uploaded form template.
Examples
In the following example, a form template located on the local file system is uploaded to the server. A console message is displayed if the process fails.
Visual Basic
Dim LocalFormsService As FormsService
Dim LocalFarm As SPFarm

LocalFormsService.FormTemplates.UploadFormTemplate(SolutionPath)

C#
