Parameters

formLocation

String

Remarks

The Open(System.String) method does not allow you to specify a form template file (.xsn). The form file must contain processing instructions (href and name attributes) that reference a valid form template file for the Load method to succeed. If this is not possible, the NewFromFormTemplate method can be used if you have a .xsn file and a suitably structured XML file, but the XML file does not have processing instruction references that specify the .xsn file. Or you can use the Open(Stream) method to load XML from a Stream
