  • Article
InfoPath Developer Reference

Examines the form template in the cache and, if necessary, updates it from the published location of the form template.

Version Information
 Version Added:  InfoPath 2003

Syntax

expression.CacheSolution(bstrSolutionURI)

expression   An expression that returns a ExternalApplication object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
bstrSolutionURI Required String The string value that specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the form template. This parameter can be specified as a form definition (.xsf) file or a form template (.xsn) file.

Return Value
Nothing

Remarks

If the form template that currently exists in the cache matches the form template from the published location, no caching takes place. If the computer is offline and the form is already in the cache, the cache is kept and no update will occur.

Example

In the following example, which is written in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language, the CacheSolution method of the ExternalApplication object is used to cache a form template:

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public Sub CacheFormTemplate()

Dim I As Integer
Dim objExternalApp As Object
Dim aryForms(2) As String


'Create a reference to the ExternalApplication object.
Set objExternalApp = CreateObject("InfoPath.ExternalApplication")


'Populate the array with form template locations.
aryForms(0) = "\MyServer\MyForms\MyForm.xsn"
aryForms(1) = "\MyServer\MyForms\manifest.xsf"


'Loop through the array and cache the form templates.
For I = 0 To UBound(aryForms) - 1
objExternalApp.CacheSolution(aryForms(I))
Next I


End Sub
