<\/a><\/p>\nWhat you need to do is to put the following code in your feature receiver:<\/p>\n
[CSharp]
\nprivate string workflowTemplateBaseGuid = “1e547b46-3d00-43b0-928d-4fe103b92fcb”;
\nprivate string workflowAssociationName = “My Workflow”;
\nprivate string workFlowHistoryListName = “Workflow History”;
\nprivate string workFlowTaskListName = “Workflow Tasks”;<\/p>\n
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
\n{
\n var site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
\n var web = site.RootWeb;
\n SPWorkflowTemplateCollection workflowTemplates = web.WorkflowTemplates;
\n SPWorkflowTemplate workflowTemplate =
\n workflowTemplates.GetTemplateByBaseID(new Guid(workflowTemplateBaseGuid));<\/p>\n
if (workflowTemplate != null)
\n {
\n \/\/ Create the workflow association
\n SPList taskList = web.Lists[workFlowTaskListName];
\n SPList historyList = web.Lists[workFlowHistoryListName];
\n SPWorkflowAssociation workflowAssociation =
\n web.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName
\n (workflowAssociationName, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);<\/p>\n
if(workflowAssociation ==null)
\n {
\n workflowAssociation = SPWorkflowAssociation.CreateWebAssociation
\n (workflowTemplate, workflowAssociationName, taskList, historyList);
\n workflowAssociation.AllowManual = true;
\n workflowAssociation.Enabled = true;
\n web.WorkflowAssociations.Add(workflowAssociation);
\n }
\n }
\n}
\n[\/CSharp]<\/p>\n
One thing to note is that in sharePoint 2010, SPSite.SPWorkflowManager.GetWorkflowTemplatesByCategory<\/a>() doesn’t properly return the workflow template collection like SharePoint 2007. So, I had to fall back to the traditional way of using SPWeb.WorkflowTemplates to get my workflow template and create the SPWorkflowAssociation<\/a> object.<\/p>\n Obviously, in your FeatureDeactivating code, you need to add the necessary code to remove the current instances of the workflow; otherwise if you deactivate the feature and activate it, the workflow doesn’t show up again in View All Site Content> Site Workflows again. A no-code workaround for this issue is to go to Site Settings > Site Administration > Workflow Settings; and remove the instance manually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you deploy a site-level workflow using Visual Studio 2010, Post-Deployment build configuration takes care of activating the workflow feature, and programmatically associates the workflow to the site.
