 abstract Microsoft::Office::InfoPath::XmlForm ^ Open(System::String ^ fileLocation);
public abstract Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.XmlForm Open (string fileLocation);
abstract member Open : string -> Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.XmlForm
Public MustOverride Function Open (fileLocation As String) As XmlForm

Parameters

fileLocation
String

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the form to open.

Returns

An XmlForm object that represents the form that was opened.

Examples

In the following code example, the Open method of the XmlFormCollection class is passed the URI of the form to open, and its associated XmlForm object is returned.

XmlForm document = this.Application.XmlForms.Open(@"C:\MyForm.xml"); Dim document As XmlForm = Me.Application.XmlForms.Open("C:\MyForm.xml")

Remarks

The Open method can only be used to open a form; it cannot be used to open a form template. To create a form from a form template, use the NewFromFormTemplate method. To create a form that is based on an existing form, use the New(String, XmlFormOpenMode) method.

When you use the Open method, the specified form opens in Microsoft InfoPath and is ready to be filled out.

This member can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

This type or member can be accessed only from code running in forms opened in Microsoft InfoPath Filler.
