Remarks

The FormTemplate class implements properties for getting information about a form template, including its version number, its cache identifier, the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) it was loaded from, and an XPathNavigator object positioned at the root of its form definition (.xsf) file. The FormTemplate class also implements a method for opening a file contained within the form template .xsn file.

A FormTemplate object that represents the form template associated with the current form is accessed through the Template property of the XmlForm class.

Examples

In the following example, a reference is set to the FormTemplate object for the current form template, then the code displays the values of the Version, CacheId, and Uri properties of the form template.

FormTemplate myTemplate = this.Template;

string templateProperties = "Version: " + myTemplate.Version +
   "\nCacheId: " + myTemplate.CacheId +
   "\nUri: " + myTemplate.Url.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(templateProperties);
Dim myTemplate As FormTemplate  = Me.Template

Dim templateProperties As String = "Version: " & myTemplate.Version & _
   vbNewLine & "CacheId: " & myTemplate.CacheId & _
   vbNewLine & "Uri: " + myTemplate.Url.ToString()
MessageBox.Show(templateProperties)
