Please check out the following web site:

http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdesigner/archive/2007/07/06/porting-sharepoint-designer-workflows-to-visual-studio.aspx

It talks about how to edit a SPD workflow within VS and then deploy it. Also in the reviews at the bottom of the page, people

mentioned problems they had during the process and how to solve it. Personally, I think it's easier to build a custom workflow

directly in VS instead of transforming it from SPD. :)

For the error occured, please check out

1. The security setting of the form. It should be either domain or full trusted.

2. The deployment files, such as feature.xml and workflow.xml. Because I never used SPD, I don't know if it has those files.

3. Check out the log file for MOSS, you may find more details there.

currently, I'm using the way suggested by ekzarov and it works fine.

workflowProperties.Item["myProperty"] = "blablabla";

workflowProperties.Item.Update();

When you publish your form to a list, it asks you to choose the fields to be shown on that list. As you choose the item you want to update, click "Modify". Check the check box

at the bottom saying "Allow user to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or property page". I hope this works for you. I never used the designer, so can't tell you what exactly

the error message means. It seems tell you that the item was not found. Make sure the item name is correct and the ID chosen to locate the record is proper.

Thanks for the reply. I found out that I had to allow the change to the properties when the forms have been published to their host environment. But I’ll try your suggestion, see what difference it’d make.

thisItem.Properties are not properties of your workflow item.

Try this:

workflowProperties.Item["myProperty"] = "blablabla";

workflowProperties.Item.Update();

SPWeb thisWeb = new SPSite(workflowProperties.SiteId).OpenWeb(workflowProperties.WebId);
SPListItem thisItem = thisWeb.Lists[workflowProperties.ListId].GetItemById(workflowProperties.ItemId);
thisItem.Properties["myProperty"] = workflowproperties.items["listProperty"] + an integer;
thisItem.Update();

Hi,

I want to update some list items in a form library through workflowproperties. The list items are integrated from an InfoPath form. The code used in the workflow is as follows:

SPWeb thisWeb = new SPSite(workflowProperties.SiteId).OpenWeb(workflowProperties.WebId);
SPListItem thisItem = thisWeb.Lists[workflowProperties.ListId].GetItemById(workflowProperties.ItemId);
thisItem.Properties["myProperty"] = workflowproperties.items["listProperty"] + an integer;
thisItem.Update();

During dubugging, the value of thisItem.Properties["myProperty"] was shown correctly, but the value shown on the form libray didn't change. Any idea? Help is appreciated!!
