Examples

In the following example, which is written in the C# programming language, the RegisterSolution method of the ExternalApplication object is used to install a form template:

private void InstallForm()
{
 ExternalApplication infoPath = new ExternalApplicationClass();

 // Install the specified InfoPath form.
 infoPath.<span class="label">RegisterSolution</span>(@"C:\My Forms\MyFormTemplate.xsn", "overwrite");
}

Note: The above example assumes that the Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath namespace is being used and that the Microsoft InfoPath 3.0 Type Library is referenced.
