Import a New Form using an API

Use the following API to import a new Form :

                   try

        {

     // Specify the form Id

            var formId = "C0084A77-0BAE-4237-9D75-1FA09B59E82B";

            // Specify the form name

            var formName = "New";

            // specify the form version

            var formVersion = "1";

            // Specify the application/repository name

            var applicationName = "PSI12Sprint05Repo";

            // Forms List Name

            var formListName = "Forms List";

           

            BaseForm newDefinition;

            BaseForm currentFormDefinition;

            Skelta.Entity.UserContext userContext = new Skelta.Entity.UserContext(new Guid("B6FD1625-D203-4DEC-933D-516789E90E45"), new Skelta.Core.ApplicationObject(applicationName), "skeltalist");

         

            Skelta.Forms.Web.CommonFunctions.ValidateCachedForm(formId, formVersion, out currentFormDefinition, formListName);

            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

    // Specify form definition xml file path

            xmlDoc.Load(@"C:\PSI12Sprint05Repo_New_Form.xml");

            var newFormDefinitionString = xmlDoc.InnerXml;

            newDefinition = BaseForm.LoadDefinitionXml(newFormDefinitionString);

            newDefinition = Workflow.NET.FormsUtility.UpdateNextGenFormDefinition(newDefinition);

            newDefinition.TopLevelForm.FormTitle = formName;

            Skelta.Forms.Web.CommonFunctions.UpdateDefinitionToDBAndValidateCache(formId, formVersion, newDefinition, formListName);

         }

         catch(Exception ex)

         {

         }

Note:
- The code imports the specified form definition without performing validations, for example, checking product or build versions.
- If the the form definition contains an invoke workflow control, then the API imports the form definition but does not create workflow association entries. You have to create them manually.
- If a form definition contains an invoke workflow control, and if you import the invoke workflow control from either the context menu or the Forms Designer, then the workflow association entries are created.
