# View Property

A read-only property that returns a reference to the View object associated with a Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 form.

expression.View

expression Required. An expression that returns a reference to an XDocument object.

## Security Level

2: Can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

## Remarks

The View object that the View property accesses represents the view that is currently active in an InfoPath form. After you have set a reference to the View object, you can access any of its properties and methods to programmatically interact with the view.

## Example

In the following example, the View property of the XDocument object is used to set a reference to the View object; then, using the Name property of the View object, it displays the name of the view in a message box:

    var objView;

    objView = XDocument.View;
    XDocument.UI.Alert("View name: " + objView.Name);
