Get the list of columns used in the Infopath form of a list/library

Sowmiya Jothimani

My requirement is to get the list of all the fields/columns used in the designed infopath form when the powershell script is run over a site/site collection. Right now I'm able to locate the .xsn file with powershell script. But, I dont have any idea of it.

If I could get the Infopath form .xml file, I could traverse it to get all the list columns out of it. Help me if possible in this scenario.

There are many ways to access the InfoPath form. In this solution, we are using the following steps to retrieve InfoPath form data.
- Identify field names and their XML representation
- Read InfoPath form item from InfoPath document Library
- Load attached InfoPath form’s XML representation to XmlTextReader
- Read each node using XmlTextReader and extract user input based on our requirement.
