Welcome to the Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 SDK

July 2007

Welcome to the Office Forms Services SDK. Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 and InfoPath Forms Services, which is included as part of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, enable InfoPath form templates designed in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 to be published as ASP.NET Web applications that provide a similar experience to filling out a form in the InfoPath client. Throughout this SDK, the term InfoPath Forms Services is used to describe the technology that enables InfoPath form templates to be converted and rendered in the browser.

Other resources, including two MSDN articles about hosting the InfoPath form editing environment in a custom Windows application and a custom Web application, respectively, can be found on the InfoPath Developer Portal.
