This member can be accessed only by forms opened from a form template that has been configured to run with full trust using the Security and Trust category of the Form Options dialog box. This member requires full trust for the immediate caller and cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see "Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code" on MSDN.

This type or member can be accessed only from code running in forms opened in Microsoft InfoPath Filler.

Examples

In the following code example, the New property is used to determine if the form has been saved previously, and if not, the SaveAs method is used to save the form to the specified URL.

if(this.New)
{
   this.SaveAs("c:\\myforms\\form1.xml");
}
else
{
   this.Save();
}
If(Me.New) Then
   Me.SaveAs("c:\\myforms\\form1.xml")
Else
   Me.Save()
End If
