@Philip Victor Jebaraj S

According to my understanding, you have migrated InfoPath Form 2007 to SharePoint 2019. Then, you want to replace InfoPath Form 2007 with InfoPath Form 2013, so you want to know how to configure InfoPath 2013 in SharePoint 2019?

You could refer to this article Add a data connection by using settings in a connection library.

Hi Du,

I already did the following steps based on some articles.

Extracted the 2007 form source file and updated the manifest.xml file with new SharePoint site URL

Generated the new XSN file from the cabfiles

Updated the Data Connections (udcx) file and uploaded to SharePoint library

Converted the Data Connection to current form

2007 form has code behind (custom c# code). When I do the deployment via visual studio, it is not deployed to the Central Admin. I have given the steps what I did in my solution. Please find the Visual Studio 2019 solution steps from the below URL.

Kindly check it and share me the solution to deploy it from Visual Studio.
