How to programmatically publish an Infopath form to sharepoint form library

Hi all,
I am in trouble because i am trying to find out a solution in C# by which i can publish my infopath form (without any help of publishing wizard in InfoPath form).
For this i seen that when we publish it through the publishing wizard it creates a new form library on the sharepoint site and then publish the form in this form library, so as same i want to do this by code.
I have created a code which creates a form library on sharepoint site but i am unable to publish my infopath form in it because i didn't find any method for publish in C#.for this I searched on google(blogs and forums etc..).I have found only upload method
but i want publish method.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply, I have uploaded the infopath from in form library by code as:
uploaddoc();
public
static
void uploaddoc()
using
(SPSite
site = new
SPSite("http://sharepoint
site/"))
using (SPWeb
myWeb = site.OpenWeb())
//Test3 is library's name, in which we want to upload the InfoPath form
SPList docLib = myWeb.Lists["Test3"];Stream
fileStream = System.IO.File.Open(@"c:\desktop\Testform.xsn",System.IO.FileMode.Open);
myWeb.Files.Add("test3/testform.xsn",
fileStream);
docLib.Update();
could you please describe that how can I associate my uploaded form to this form library
Regards
Vishal

Submitting PDF Form to SharePoint 2010 Library

I've inherited a simple PDF form created with LiveCycle ES2. We'd like to be able to let users Submit the result of the form in a PDF format, to a SharePoint 2010 Library using a Submit button. I've added a button and configured the Control Type to Submit. I've added a SharePoint library to the Submit to URL: field and changed to Submit to PDF. Now when I click the button, it opens the SharePoint library but nothing is there. I'm sure there's more I need to do to get this working. Do I need to install the server-side stuff for LiveCycle on the SharePoint server?

This is not striclty my area of expertise so I don't want to give you a bum steer - at best my response is vague but it may give you a few clues of where to start looking. I'm not too sure how you might have confgured this but your PDF form needs somewhere to send the data and then receive and store it - that's not a SharePoint list or document library (I seem to recall reading somewhere that you can do clever stuff with PDF and SharePoint but I don't think it works out of the box like you're describing here - that info basically alluded to using PDF and SharePoint together [like marketing statements] but didn't go into the hows). I suspect that submitting a PDF form may result in an XML data stream but don't quote me on that either. Alternatively if Acrobat is going to collate results then I think the form being submitted may need to end up in the same locaiton as the "master" PDF form but again I'm guessing a bit here too. For all intents the "master" pdf form may need to reside in SharePoint (and as a result it is addressable on a URL or as a file via WebDAV) in which case it will (or ought to) function like any other PDF form where you can collate results to a spreadsheet. If thats all it can do then using SharePoint seems moot. I think Google is your friend here :-)

How to upload email from outlook to a sharepoint document library programatically.

Hi ,
I have a requirement where I need to create a outlook plugin which will upload selected emails to sharepoint document library. I am able to hold email using by creating the object of outlook.item. but could n't find a way to upload created com object
in to sharepoint library.
I need to use webservice to upload email to the document library.
can some one please help me with this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Base on the description, you want to upload email from outlook to a sharepoint document library programatically.
We need to do it using Web Services, there's a purpose built web service here http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html‎
for uploading documents.
The other alternative is using email enabled document libraries

How to programmatically Publish Nodes and where to save Raw Data Nodes

I am trying to read in an xml file, parse it and convert the information into Nodes. I have two questions:
1. should I create these nodes directly under /content to make them visible on dispatcher?
2. After the nodes have been made/updated how do I progromatically push them to publish/dispatcher instance?

When you parse the XML, do not convert every tag into JCR node by default. Instead try to leverage the features of JCR:
datatypes of properties
properties can contain a list of the simple data types
otherwise you end up with many unnecessary nodes, which just loads the repository.
To your questions:
1) You can put it in any other location as well to make them available on dispatcher. /content is displayed in the siteadmin and editors expect there to be pages. Therefor it is best practice not to store content, which is not supposed to be modified by editors, in /content. Depending on the nature of your data you can use /etc oder /var.
2) Use the replication service (the interfac for this: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/replication/package-summary.html)

How to: Redirect after document adding to a sharepoint document library

i need to redirect the current user to a custom url after successfully uploading a document.
the user clicks "+ new document" in the document library
the user selects a local document
the document gets uploaded and in that moment after it is successfully uploaded and the item is created in the list, i want to redirect the user to a custom url
Normally after successfully uploading a document to a document library under SharePoint 2010, the user gets a modal dialog where he sees only the field "Name" with the filename.
I want to prevent this. How could i achieve this?
best regards
Yavuz

Thanks for the replies, but that is not i was searching for.
For example:
the user clicks "+ new document" in the document library
the user selects a local document
the document gets uploaded and in that moment after it is successfully uploaded and the item is created in the list, i want to redirect the user to a custom url. On my system i get the Edit.aspx form ->
i don't want this!!
Normally after successfully uploading a document to a document library under SharePoint 2010, the user gets a modal dialog where he sees only the field "Name" with the filename.
I would like to do this inside an eventreceiver.
After the document is successfully added to the library i would like to redirect the user directly to another page.
I hope this clearifies my problem :)

How to use Blob storage to office 365 sharepoint online library documents

Hello,
Considering that we cant uploade a file with size more than 250 MB and it is recommended using Remote
Blob Storage (RBS) if large files are supposed to store in SharePoint.
My question is, how to use RBS or Azure Blob storage to store files instead of SQL database.
What is the configuration or code i need to write to accomplished this where i would prefer if it can be done simply using some configuration.
any sample or tutorial would be great help.
Thanks,
Asjad

HI,
What we did, we deploy small Azure PaaS application what used Azure Blob Storage and table and then show it in Office365 SharePoint online trough iframe. This gives you flexibility to customimze the PaaS application and show the content at blog storage.
We tested this in SharePoint ONline multitenant and Dedicated plus in On Premise SharePoint with the custom code in separate IIS server published trough UAG to Internet. This allows you to save or replace your file server with Azure and small PaaS apps in
and show the content on SharePoint ONline trough Iframe.

Uploading 2010 Infopath Form to Sharepoint 2013

Hello,
I uploaded a Infopath 2010 form from my Sharepoint 2010 website to my new Sharepoint 2013 website.
I get the following editing message under my form title: Last modified at (todays date with time) by admin (Edit this Page)
How can I deactivate this feature or is this a feature? If not what is it and how can I get rid of it ?
Please help,
Kind regards, Ali Tozlu

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got last modified message when you upload a InfoPath 2010 form.
How did you upload the form from the SharePoint 2010 site to SharePoint 2013 site?
Could you give more information about this issue?
I tried to reproduce the issue with the following three methods, and in the library I not got the last modified message with the form.
1.Use the “Open with Explorer” method.
I opened the SharePoint 2010 site library in explorer which contained the InfoPath 2010 form, and opened the SharePoint 2013 site library in explorer.
Then I dragged the InfoPath 2010 form to the SharePoint 2013 site, the form upload without the last modified message.
2.Upload the form using the URL
In SharePoint 2013 site library, I clicked the “New dcument”->Browser->typed the URL of the SharePoint 2010 site library which contained the InfoPath 2010 form.
The form also upload without the last modified message.
3.Downloaded the InfoPath 2010 form to local computer, then uploaded the form to SharePoint 2013 library, the form upload without the last modified message.
Thanks & Regards,

How to have Infopath form use Sharepoint Domain credentials

I have built a for in infopath which is published to a library on Sharepoint 2013. This form is filled out by certain users and when its completed it gets moved into a subfolder. We then provide a link to a client who has a domain account with restricted
access to just this folder of sharepoint. They can view this form and any others we put in this folder.
The form has 2 views. The first is the view our staff sees when filling it out. There are some hidden sections in there for us that the client does not need to see. So there is a second view which is read only and I have taken away the option for them to
switch views so they can't go back to our internal view.
What I would like to happen is that the form can somehow detect by the domain login info from sharepoint, what user is opening the form and switch views based on that. What I can't figure out how to do it to have the form pull domain credentials from the
sharepoint site and use those a a variable when opening the form to set the view.
I believe I am on the right path what trying to setup a data connection but I am just missing something. I found this great guide http://www.pointgowin.com/seethepoint/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=55 but now when I open the form I get a warning stating "You
do not have permissions to access a SharePoint list that contains data required for this form to function correctly." Also I still can't seem to pull the username.
Can someone help me out? Point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to have Infopath form use Sharepoint Domain credentials.
When you use Claims-based authentication, your user name is prefaced by “0#.w|”. So for example, if your user name is SuesDomain\jdoe then your Claims-based user token will be, without
the quotes: “0#.w|SuesDomain\jdoe”
InfoPath can’t handle that, or more specifically, the UserProfile.asmx method GetUserProfileByName method can’t handle that. InfoPath tries to pass in your Claims-based user token instead
of your domain\User Name.
You have an authentication problem where the currently logged in user is not allowed to hit the web service, so you get an Access Denied 401 authentication error
To resolve the issue, you can refer to the great blog:
SharePoint 2013, InfoPath and Claims – GetUserProfileByName

Creating Infopath forms programmatically - unable to update promoted columns in the library

I referred to the following article and was able to create the forms successfully.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/33228/Programmatically-create-a-browser-enabled-InfoPath
But, I noticed that the generated Xml looks a bit different than if I'm creating the document through Sharepoint directly,
for example, a snippet of the generated Xml (through Sharepoint) looks like:
<my:Employee>
          <my:LastName>Test</my:LastName>
          <my:GivenName>Test</my:GivenName>
          <my:EmployeeNumber>1</my:EmployeeNumber>
</my:Employee>
but it looks like the following when I create the document from my C# code:
<Employee>
      <LastName>Test</LastName>
      <GivenName>Test</GivenName>
      <EmployeeNumber>1</EmployeeNumber>
</Employee>
The issue that I'm noticing is that if I chose to publish some of columns (when I publish the form to the sharepoint site) then
the columns will not show the values (I'm guessing that is due to the missing "my" before the fields).
Is there a way to work-around that? or am I doing something incorrect on my side?
Thank you,

Here is a complete method for creating a new infopath form and updating some columns of the new form using sharepoint client object model:
        public string AddNewForm(string WebUrl, string NewTitle)
            string strMsg = "";
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(WebUrl))
                return "Empty URL!";
            try
                // Starting with ClientContext, the constructor requires a URL to the server running SharePoint.
                using (ClientContext client = new ClientContext(WebUrl))
                    //client.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                    // Assume that the web site has a library named "FormLibrary".
                    var formLib = client.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("FormLibrary");
                    client.Load(formLib.RootFolder);
                    client.ExecuteQuery();
                    // FormTemplate path, The path should be on the local machine/server !
                    string fileName = @"D:\Projects\FormTemplate.xml";
                    var fileUrl = "";
                    //Craete FormTemplate and save in the library.
                    using (var fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open))
                        var fi = new FileInfo("newForm.xml");
                        fileUrl = String.Format("{0}/{1}", formLib.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl, fi.Name);
                        Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(client, fileUrl, fs, true);
                        client.ExecuteQuery();
                    // Now we are going to update new form fields.
                    // Get library columns collection.
                    var libFields = formLib.Fields;
                    client.Load(libFields);
                    client.ExecuteQuery();
                    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File newFile = client.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(fileUrl);
                    ListItem item = newFile.ListItemAllFields;
                    // Here the index of Title column is 9, you may use this form to update any column (even promoted fields).
                    // To find the index of interested column you should inspect libFields at debug mode, look in the libFields.Fields collection to find the index!
                    item[libFields[9].StaticName] = NewTitle ;
                    item.Update();
                    client.ExecuteQuery();

Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

Hi everybody,
I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!
I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type
and an external list, including InfoPath forms.
When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:
"An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"
(please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).
If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!
I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>
whereas for the external list is something like the following:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath
Designer 2013 is the following:
The following URL is not valid:
http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.
Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database
installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.
A big
thanks in advance to anyone who is able to
provide useful information to solve the problem!!!
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Folks,
Same issue here for any external list. We've migrated from 2010 to 2013 - it used to be fine on 2010. 2013 seems hang after 'getting site column information' then nothing. All effected users can quick publish to regular sharepoint lists, but cannot to external
lists.
In our situation we are trying to quick publish to sites using the 2010 look and feel in a 2013 environment. using SharePoint Designer 2013 and InfoPath 2013.

How to submit a multiple-selection list box in an Infopath Sharepoint form as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list?

I would like to be able to submit an Infopath form with a multiple selection list box in Sharepoint as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list.
For example, a user has to complete the following fields:
First Name:
Last Name:
Favorite Color (can select more than one):
[] Blue
[] Red
[] Yellow
[] Green
If the user picks blue AND red and submits the form, the Sharepoint list would feature TWO entries, both with their first and last names, but with different colors in the "Favorite Color" column.
Please let me know if there is a way to do this. Any guidance would be helpful!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:
