SPWorkflowActivationProperties.Item is NULL in Simple SharePoint Workflow

问题

I have generated a C# SharePoint Sequential Workflow project using the very handy STSDEV tool (it got me around the requirement to have access to a 32-bit SharePoint installation which is required for other tools such as VSeWSS 1.3).

I've added a simple 'modify the title' action to test my basic setup:

public sealed partial class CopyWorkflow : SharePointSequentialWorkflowActivity
{

    public CopyWorkflow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        workflowProperties = new SPWorkflowActivationProperties();
    }

    public SPWorkflowActivationProperties workflowProperties;

    private void onWorkflowActivated1_Invoked_1(object sender, ExternalDataEventArgs e)
    {
        workflowProperties.Item["Title"] = workflowProperties.Item["Title"].ToString() + ": Processed by Workflow";
        workflowProperties.Item.Update();
    }
}

Whoever, after installing my workflow via WSP into an installation of WSS 3.0, activating the feature, and configuring the workflow to start whenever a new item is created for a particular list, I get my breakpoint in onWorkflowActivated1_Invoked_1 hit, but the workflowProperties.Item is always NULL instead of an SPListItem representing the item that was just added.

What do I need to do to get the Item to be filled when this callback is called?

Update: I've noticed that the thread executing the workflow is running anonymously rather than as the logged in user or the system user, and therefore won't have access to the list data. Furthermore, the SharePoint log file show the following exception:

Unexpected System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

回答1:

Have you bound WorkflowActivationProperties with Workflow designer?

回答2:

This issue occurs if the the InitialStateName of the designer in the workflow properties is not equal to "Initial state" or is pointed to other stage abruptly. Once a state wherein we have the workflowProperties ,etc like the above image. Things start working as required.
