Thank you, the upper part can find it everywhere, buit the registry part is very useful and only works with it.

Thank you for your effort.

I have a webpart that already build list survey type, now ,i like to know how to answer those questions , but in the same way, i mean programmatically. The problem is that i build the webpart via render, and the controls for the answer too.

So, how answer the questions dinamically in run time.

I am willing to attend this event

Hi,

Your article was very useful to me but I finally opted for the AddFieldAsXml as my case needed further settings.

Can we determine if survey list contains any question or not?

Thanks for the great post !!!

Extremely helpful tips with respect to the registry changes.

Worked like a Champ !

Thanks again.

Zullu.

Very usefull info! Thanks

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for!

If you use -local, the command is synchronized and there is no need to do "execadmsvcjobs".

For example:

stsadm -o retractsolution   -name %solutionName%.wsp -local

its very helpful. thanks a lot

Thanks... I'm a total newb, but I feel like a pro now

Great article.  We get this question all the time, as we create searchable PDFs, but it takes some effort to get SharePoint to index them.  Thanks.

Thank you very much

It is a very good article. Now I'm trying to put a page separator to separate my questions in the survey but i'm having some problems with that. Can someone give some help on that?

Thx

thanks a lot its working for me

Thanks buddy, its working

Thanks so much!!

For me, I had to do:

Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 -> Change -> Add or Remove Features

Worked like a charm. it was so frustrating after spending the whole day and installing plugins and other updates but this one finally worked.

Thanks

Thanks

Congrats to Indian team... and to The 1.21 Billion Indians who waited for 28 looooooooooooong years....

Thank you! I'v just customized my search box using your method.

where do you creat  your CreateSurveyList ? Is it a class?

Is there any way creating survey question using SharePoint Client OM?

Thanks for the article, I have got to the point where i can see my custom activity in the insert action drop down, however when i click on it it does not get added to the workflow step. There are no errors it just wont add it. Any help would be much appreciated.

I've the same problem as one reported above. it shows up in Actions list but wont add up in the workflow Step.

I think you have something wrong in your code, it's been impossible to me to recreate it, could you provide a simple example on how to create a simple list with a custom workflow action?

Thanks a lot

Loogares

I follow above steps and create same.

but i couldn't add action in workflow.

Could you create a project for this, so I will be able to download it?  Thank you in any case!

Me, too!

Is there a source code for download?

i always got this error

Error 1 Both "TestWorkflowAction.csproj" and "TestWorkflowAction" contain a file that deploys to the same Package location: TestWorkflowAction.dll D:\Projects\CVS-visual-studio-projects\TestWorkflowAction\TestWorkflowAction\Package\Package.package TestWorkflowAction

Hi a visitor - the custom activity will NOT show up unless you ensure that the authorisedType is added to the web.config file of the Sharepoint Web Application.

Excellent post with all the steps I needed. Thank You

I've added the authorisedType to web.config. The  custom activity ‘Create Survey List’ appears in the SharePoint Designer 2010 under actions but when I try to add it, nothing happens.

even though you installed silverlight3.0, this plugin updates to latest version (SL4.0). so when u debug you get that error. Best solution would be to make sure that silverlight plugin 3.0 never makes any updates.

This post is the continuation of the post titled SharePoint 2010 Recommended Practices for disposing

Disposal of SharePoint Objects All the SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 object models

This post is the continuation of my previous post SharePoint 2010 Recommended practices for disposing

Nice article, but it's some errors:

- You can't have a class name (CreateSurveyLibrary) and a method with the same name !!! This creates a compilation error.

- In the .action file, the class is called 'CreateSurveyList'.

- The 'authorizedType' line is not specified where to put it (for others: this line is put in the web.config of the target web application).

- Also, it is worth mentioning that the public key token must be changed, because it's not the same if you create 2 different assemblies. Here it would be helpful if a solution with these projects would be available for download.

It is possible to do it from SP 2010 Central Administration UI?

thanks.. its working now..

Useful information

Hey thanks for the article!  This was a great introduction to creating custom activities for SharePoint Designer.

how to install in office 2010 plus

Thanks a lot!!!!!

Thanks so much for this.  The MS directions were impossible.

Thanks for this article. This is a great introduction and works for me. Just neet to modify the Public key token "38b1d60938e39f46" with the one in c:\windows\Assembly\CreateActivityDemo.dll.

Can we debug this activity. I have written a Activity to copy an item from one site to another. When I run the workflow it simply throws a object reference exception. Any help in debugging would be appriciated.

Hi,

this is very nice article.

when i tried to create custom action as u mentioned above. it successfully created and added into sharepoint designer workflow action list. but when going to add into workflow from action list,does not add into workflow.

Hello,

from where do you have this information? I can't find nothing about this limitations within the MSDN Library. Can you support a official Link?

Regards

Andre

Congrats :)

Thanks ..this helps me a lot

I've tried every upload technique I know of in the Client Object model or plain C#, including:

WebClient http put

WebRequest http put

FileCreationInfo (via list.files.add)

Sharepoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect

The largest file I can upload with SaveBinaryDirecty is 16MB, the others all have a much lower limit.

What can I do to get up to 4GB files moved into a document library?

I too am unable to use the action, although it dooes appear in SharePoint designer selecting it doesn't do anything.

Has anyone managed to resolve this?!

Hello all,

Ironically after looking at this for 4 hours and then posting a request for help... I have found the problem(!).

In case it helps anyone in the future, if you see the activity in SharePoint designer but when you select it nothing happens then double check you "authorizedType" setup (under the System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler section).  You must add in a line to the assembly and correct namespace(!).  Having corrected a typo and restarted designer I can now add the activity to my workflow.

Hope this helps someone.

Best to all.

This is very user full in sharepoint developers. who want to create workflow.

gud..

You have to know: you saved my life.

Thanks a lot!

Such a great Info !! It saved me lot of time!

Sir,

Thanks
