Remarks

The connectoid element is an optional element that specifies that InfoPath should retrieve connection settings from an external file rather than from the manifest.xsf file. The source, siteCollection, and connectionLinkType attributes specify how and where InfoPath should look to find a Universal Data Connection V2 file (.udcx) containing connection settings for this data connection.

Note This element or attribute is optional in the form definition file (.xsf) of a form template deployed as a browser-compatible form to a server running InfoPath Forms Services.
