RE: createtaskwithcontenttype

2009-05-18 Thread Jeffery Tsui 
I would suggest you to create a separate feature for the custom content
type.

 

Robert Shelton had a series of how to videos about custom workflow
development which is very helpful (to me).

Many thanks Brian & Jeffery.  I was a little unclear on the use of the term
'feature', now it's all coming clear..  so my workflow project is already
being pushed out as a feature, I can just add my content type to an existing
or new element manifest, referenced from feature.xml.  Sounds great..
thanks.

That's in a feature, so generally in a feature you have your feature.xml
file, and one or more elements XML files (if you just have one it is
generally called elements.xml)

Subject: createtaskwithcontenttype

Morning all,

 

I'm creating a SharePoint workflow in VS and am having trouble implementing
createtaskwithcontenttype.  Here's what I'm getting when I run the workflow:

 

Workflow1.  Information: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.ArgumentException: The content type of a workflow task must be
derived from the Workflow Task content type.

 

And here's what I'm doing:

 

In the portal..

-  Created a content type on my site, let's call it 'abc', derived
from List / Task 

-  Enabled content types on my task list

-  Added abc as a content type to my task list

-  Can manually create a task of this CT in this list

-   

 

In VS...

-  Plopped down a 'createtaskwithcontenttype' (createTask1) and
'completetask' activity.  Left 'ContentTypeId' property of the
createtaskwithcontenttype' blank in the properties window

-  Populated the correlation tokens, task properties and task id's
(works fine if i use a 'createtask' instead)

-  Grabbing the SPContentTypeId of abc in a code activity before the
createtaskwithcontenttype

-  Setting: createTask1.ContentTypeId = abcContentTypeId.ToString()
at the start of createTask1_MethodInvoking()

 

Okay, so I've just realised that my CT is derived from List / Task, but it's
expecting it to be derived from "Workflow Task".  I know this is the CT it
uses if you instead use a 'createtask' activity, but how can you create a
user-defined CT that derives from "Workflow Task"?

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Chris

RE: createtaskwithcontenttype

2009-05-18 Thread Brian Farnhill 
Also, one thing I ran into with this as well was making sure that your workflow 
tasks are associated with the task list before you use createtaskwithcontenttype

When you associate a workflow you can specify a default task content type ID - 
in my scenario I had multiple task content types, so I put in a code action at 
the very start of the workflow that checked to make sure the required 
additional content types were associated with the tasks list.

I also prefer to use feature to deploy custom content type, especially custom 
workflow task which allows you to easily manage custom columns and form 
association.

The default workflow task content type has ContentType ID=0x010801 , you will 
need to add “00” before appending GUID without “-“. Eg. 
0x01080100113E21589FD845e281EFD2F7E3D88D5B

Remember to use CreateTaskWithContentType action and point the ContentTypeId to

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.ArgumentException: The content type of a workflow task must be
derived from the Workflow Task content type.

 

And here's what I'm doing:

 

In the portal..

-  Created a content type on my site, let's call it 'abc', derived
from List / Task 

-  Enabled content types on my task list

-  Added abc as a content type to my task list

-  Can manually create a task of this CT in this list

-   

 

In VS...

-  Plopped down a 'createtaskwithcontenttype' (createTask1) and
'completetask' activity.  Left 'ContentTypeId' property of the
createtaskwithcontenttype' blank in the properties window

-  Populated the correlation tokens, task properties and task id's
(works fine if i use a 'createtask' instead)

-  Grabbing the SPContentTypeId of abc in a code activity before the
createtaskwithcontenttype

-  Setting: createTask1.ContentTypeId = abcContentTypeId.ToString()
at the start of createTask1_MethodInvoking()

 

Okay, so I've just realised that my CT is derived from List / Task, but it's
expecting it to be derived from "Workflow Task".  I know this is the CT it
uses if you instead use a 'createtask' activity, but how can you create a
user-defined CT that derives from "Workflow Task"?

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Chris

RE: createtaskwithcontenttype

2009-05-18 Thread Brian Farnhill 
Create a content type that inherits from the workflow task one - we did that 
via a feature. So something like this in your elements file should so it:





This creates a CT that inherits from the workflow task one, and from here in 
that XML I can add fields to it like any other content type deployed via a 
feature to store my own data.

I hope that helps.

Subject: createtaskwithcontenttype

Morning all,

I’m creating a SharePoint workflow in VS and am having trouble implementing 
createtaskwithcontenttype.  Here’s what I’m getting when I run the workflow:

Workflow1.  Information: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception 
has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: 
The content type of a workflow task must be derived from the Workflow Task 
content type.

And here’s what I’m doing:

In the portal..

-  Created a content type on my site, let’s call it ‘abc’, derived from 
List / Task

-  Enabled content types on my task list

-  Added abc as a content type to my task list

-  Can manually create a task of this CT in this list

-

In VS...

-  Plopped down a ‘createtaskwithcontenttype’ (createTask1) and 
‘completetask’ activity.  Left ‘ContentTypeId’ property of the 
createtaskwithcontenttype’ blank in the properties window

-  Populated the correlation tokens, task properties and task id’s 
(works fine if i use a ‘createtask’ instead)

-  Grabbing the SPContentTypeId of abc in a code activity before the 
createtaskwithcontenttype

-  Setting: createTask1.ContentTypeId = abcContentTypeId.ToString() at 
the start of createTask1_MethodInvoking()

Okay, so I’ve just realised that my CT is derived from List / Task, but it’s 
expecting it to be derived from “Workflow Task”.  I know this is the CT it uses 
if you instead use a ‘createtask’ activity, but how can you create a 
user-defined CT that derives from “Workflow Task”?


Kind regards,

Chris
