XDocuments Collection

XDocuments XDocument

Contains an XDocument object for each Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 form that is currently open. The XDocument object represents a form's underlying XML document and can be used to interact with the XML data that a form contains.

Remarks

The XDocuments collection implements a number of properties and methods that can be used to access a form's associated XDocument object, or to create and open the forms themselves. The XDocuments collection is accessed through the XDocuments property of the Application object.

Using the XDocuments collection

In the following example, the Open method of the XDocuments collection is used to open an existing form:

    Application.XDocuments.Open("C:\\MyForm.xml");
  

You can also create a new form based on an existing form using the New method:

    Application.XDocuments.New("C:\\MyForm.xml");
  

To access an XDocument object contained in the XDocuments collection, you can pass the positional index or the location path to the Item method:

    var objXDoc;

objXDoc = Application.XDocuments(0);
// or...
objXDoc = Application.XDocuments("C:\\MyForm.xml");
