'Usage
Dim instance As DataConnectionFile

public sealed class DataConnectionFile : SPPersistedObject,

Remarks
The UDC files that are available on the server farm are listed on the Manage Data Connection Files page of the Central Administration site. A version 2 UDC file with the *.udcx file extension is designed for use by browser-enabled form templates that render in the browser or open in the InfoPath editor. Form templates that are not browser-enabled can also use UDC connection files.
Examples
In the following example, the DataConnectionFileCollection collection is used to loop through every UDC file on the server farm and write its display name to the console. Then the total number of UDC files on the server is written to the console.
Dim LocalFormsService As FormsService
Dim LocalFarm As SPFarm
Dim UdcCollection As DataConnectionFileCollection
Dim UdcConnection As DataConnectionFile
Dim CountUdcFiles As Integer = 0
Try
LocalFarm = SPFarm.Local
LocalFormsService = LocalFarm.Services.GetValue(Of FormsService)(FormsService.ServiceName)
UdcCollection = LocalFormsService.DataConnectionFiles
For Each UdcConnection In UdcCollection
CountUdcFiles = CountUdcFiles + 1
Console.WriteLine("UDC file # " + CountUdcFiles.ToString() + ": " + UdcConnection.DisplayName.ToString())
Next
Console.WriteLine("Total UDC files on server: " + CountUdcFiles.ToString())
Console.Write("Press Enter to Continue")
Console.ReadLine()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message)
Console.Write("Press Enter to Continue")
Console.ReadLine()
End Try
FormsService localFormsService;
SPFarm localFarm = SPFarm.Local;
int countUdcs = 0;
try
{
localFormsService = localFarm.Services.GetValue<FormsService>(FormsService.ServiceName);
DataConnectionFileCollection udcCollection = localFormsService.DataConnectionFiles;
string[] enumUdc = udcCollection.Enumerate("All");
foreach(DataConnectionFile udcConnection in udcCollection)
{
countUdcs++;
Console.WriteLine("UDC file # " + countUdcs.ToString() + ": " + udcConnection.DisplayName.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine("Total UDC files on server: " + countUdcs.ToString());
Console.Write("Press Enter to Continue");
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
Console.Write("Press Enter to Continue");
Console.ReadLine();
}
