Accessing InfoPath resources programmatically by using Visual C# in InfoPath 2003 SDK

[rsk]

Is there a means via the object model to access non data source resources
that have been added to an InfoPath XSN (such as the the schema definition
files (XSD) or other non-xml files)?

Browsing the object model, I have not been able to access any resources
other that the primary (template.xml) and secondary data sources.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;892730 describes how
to encode and decode a file attachment programmatically by using Visual C#
in InfoPath 2003 Service Pack 1. Is there a similar means for accessing
internal resource files?

Thanks,
Russel Krause

Hi,

If you want to access your schema by code, you can use:

var objSchema = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DomDocument.5.0");
objSchema.async = false;
objSchema.validateOnParse = false;
objSchema.load( "myschema.xsd" );
objSchema.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
'xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/XXXXX"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"' );

Hope that it helps.

Excellent. Do you happen to have the equivalent code in C#?. Will MSXML
need to be additionally installed on the host machine, or is it installed
with InfoPath?

Thanks,
Russel.

Hi Russel,

Here it is:

IXMLDOMDocument2 templateDom = (IXMLDOMDocument2)thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
templateDom.async = false;
templateDom.validateOnParse = false;
templateDom.load("myschema.xsd");
templateDom.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
"xmlns:my='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/XXXXX'
xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'");

Hope that it helps.
