Hello all,

we'd like to develop Infopath app. We wanted to use Infopath integration
with VS.NET to set up Solution, store project files in Source Safe and so on.
But, when mz coleague created solution and added two Infopath Projects, I
could not get them from SS correctly. Still got info - manifest.xsf not
found. Then I got files to my comp. manually from SS, but when i tried to
build app, I got message - The form template 'manifest.xsf' references a file
'InfoPathProject1.dll' that does not exist. Even If 'InfoPathProject1.dll was
in project Bin directory.

Can you please write down some steps, that lead to succesful team
development of Infopath application in VS.NET environment ?

Best regards,

p.

Well, I'm not really sure what the exact problem is, but if you are
adding your project to source safe, you MUST make sure that InfoPath is
CLOSED. Other wise, files are in use and will not check-in/check-out
correctly.

Hope this helps,
Matt

Hello,

thanks for reply. But the there is no problem with missing files in source
safe. There were all files from project. But If I wanted to get files through
the VS.NET (Add project from Source Control menu item), I could not get the
files - I got message "The operation could not be completed because the
Infopath project does not contain a form definition file (.xsf). Please
ensure that the form definition file is added to your project.". When I did
Get Latest from SS client, I got all files to my computer, but when I open
project an try tu build it, it failed. Again , error message appeared "The
form template 'manifest.xsf' references a file 'InfoPathProject1.dll' that
does not exist". And the assembly InfoPathProject1.dll was in project Bin
directory.

We use SS for our c# projects with no problem (except performance, branching
etc. :)) ) , but the same usage with Infopath projects ended with error.
That's why I wanted to know, if there are same special conditions, how to set
up projects for team development.

Regards,

Paja
