Extract file from .xsn using c#

Question

I need to extract file (template.xml) from .xsn (InfoPath form template) using C#.

How can I do this? I tried to do it using "DotnetZip" and "Microsoft System.IO.Compression.DeflateSteam" but it doesn't work.

Any help please?

Thanks in advance!

You're going to need to explain a little more what "it doesn't work" actually means before anybody can offer you any kind of insight into how to fix the issue. Without knowing what's going wrong it's going to be almost impossible. Post some code and give us an idea of which bit isn't working — Dave, May 13 '11 at 15:53

XSN is not a Zip file, it is CAB.

I've used "Unpack XSN file using extract.exe utility to the local temporary directory".

(Search for "C# cab extract" http://www.bing.com/search?q=c%23+cab+extract for more code samples)
