Hi All,

I wrote a custom workflow activity. I created a workflow in the CRM and
added this
activity as a step. The workflow starts and says "waiting".
Then when I open it, it says
An error occurred. Try this action again or check with microsoft community
etc....

I'm trying to attach my workflow to a process. I followed the steps in the
below article
[url down]

I tried both w3pw.exe and Asuncronouscrm.exe.

Below is my code. (I created a workflow activity library project)

namespace sitatestARC
{
[CrmWorkflowActivity("CreateCustomActivity")]
public sealed partial class CreateCustomActivity:SequenceActivity
{
protected override ActivityExecutionStatus
Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext)
{
IContextService contextService =
(IContextService)executionContext.GetService(typeo f(IContextService));
IWorkflowContext context = contextService.Context;
ICrmService crmService = context.CreateCrmService();
Guid invoiceId = context.PrimaryEntityId;
String name = context.PrimaryEntityName;
ColumnSet cSet = new ColumnSet(new string[] { "name" });
BusinessEntity entity = crmService.Retrieve(name, invoiceId,
cSet);
String invoiceXML = entity.ToString();
FileStream file = new FileStream("C:\\invoice.txt",
FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(file);
sw.Write(invoiceXML);
//convertToPdf(invoiceXML);
return ActivityExecutionStatus.Closed;
}
}

}

The breakpoint never gets hit. I put the breakpoint on the execute method.
Is something wrong with my code or I didn't attach the workflow to a process
correctly? Can anyone please help me.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Madhu

Have you signed the wokflow activity in visual studio?

Thank you for the response.
I didn't sign the workflow activity.
In 4.0.5, I think you need not sign the workflow activities I think, isn't it?
However, I just got it working by trial and error.
I was able to attach the workflow activity to a debugger.

Thanks,
Sita
