This member can be accessed only by forms opened from a form template that as 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 Office InfoPath 2007.

Note

If you host InfoPath 2007 in a Windows Form application by adding an InfoPath FormControl to the Windows form, calling XmlForm.Print(true) from the hosted InfoPath form will raise the following exception:InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.There is no workaround for this in InfoPath 2007. This is not an issue in InfoPath 2010.
