How to deploy custom form to Organizational Forms Library?

[Piyush Gupta]

Hi,

I am trying to create Setup project for deploying my custom forms into
Exchange Server 2003 Organizational Forms Library using VS.NET 2005
but unable to find any good reference for creating custom action for
the same.

Can you pls. point me to some good reference material for this or
suggest better way to do the same?

Thanks.

You would need to write code that (a) creates an item using your form and (b) uses that item's FormDescription.PublishForm command to publish. For (a), CreateItemFromTemplate can be used with an .oft file. Note, though, that if this is an add-in that will be running on multiple machines, the form should be published only once. You might not want the form publishing to be part of the add-in itself.
