<h4 class="dtH4">Return Value</h4>
<p> A Form object. The fields of the form can be read or updated. If you update a filed, you can save it with Save_Form. </p>
<h4 class="dtH4">Remarks</h4>
<p> Forms are the things that pop-up in an editor when run from a command line. In P4.Net (and most other Perforce APIs), you do not need to parse/format the text manually. Instead, you can get/set the fields using the Fields and ArrayFields collections. <P>The following is a list of common form commands:</P>
<list>
<li>client</li>
<li>branch</li>
<li>label</li>
<li>job</li>
<li>user</li>
<li>group</li>
<li>protect</li>
<li>triggers</li>
<li>branch</li>
</list>
<P> When fetching or saving a form, <B>do not use the '-o' and '-i' flags</B>. P4.Net will automatically include them. </P>
</p>
