Access Resource File via Managed Code

[Sachin Nema]

Hi

I've created an InfoPath 2007 form that contains resource files (added by
going to Tools->Resource Files, etc). I'd like to access them from my
managed code in the form. Is this possible? How does InfoPath store these
files so that they are accesible at runtime?

Thanks

Hello,

AFAIK InfoPath doesn't have any knowledge of resource files - it uses
physical files i.e. gifs, jpgs, xslt, xml, xsd, etc. and then runs it through
the InfoPath rendering engine to display the content. I don't think you can
use resource files in the way you want to i.e. swap out images, load files,
etc. This is because all references to files live in the xslt, so they exist
at design-time and can be used at run-time.

Is there something you are trying to achieve with the resource files?
Internationalization is just barely supported - there is a lot of work
required in InfoPath to get this to happen.

Gavin.
