Infopath VSTO/ VSTA post-build steps

  • Article

Here are the steps for the post-build to build and deploy the infopath forms automatically:

1. Deactivating the previous edition of the form
stsadm -o deactivateformtemplate -url "SITE COLL URL" -filename "XSN FILE PATH"

2. Removing the previous version of the form
stsadm -o removeformtemplate -filename "XSN FILE PATH"

3. Kick the job service (saves you the wait)
stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs

4. Uploading the new template
stsadm -o uploadformtemplate -filename "XSN FILE PATH"

5. Kick the job service (again)
stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs

6. Activating the new form template
stsadm -o activateformtemplate -url "SITE COLL URL" -filename "XSN FILE PATH"

 Using bat file in my next post.

Happy code...
