    Hello,

    Can you please tell me the steps to create and register a custom workflow activity from the scratch?

    I'm facing some problems and errors while doing this.Help me plz.

    The steps i've followed are,

    1.opened VS2005

    2.Add new project>select workflow>Activity library>add ativity.

    3.add codes

    4.signed the assembly

    5.Build

     

    6.Opened the plugindeveloper tool.

    7.Add references.

    8.edit the register .xml

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <Register
        LogFile = "Plug-in Registration Log.txt"
        Server  = "http://test911:5555"
        Org     = "zenitinformatica"
        Domain  = "Gruppozenit"
        UserName= "administrator" >
     
           <Solution SourceType="0" Assembly=".........\CustomWFActivity.dll">
                <WorkflowTypes>
                     <WorkflowType TypeName="CustomWFActivity.CustomActivity"
                                   FriendlyName="Custom Activity"/>
                    </WorkflowTypes>
            </Solution>
    </Register>

     

    9.Here is my doubt.we need to place the pre-build workflow assembly-CustomWFActivity.dll in the bin/debug folder of plugindeveloper?????

     

    or need to specify only the actual path of the assembly in the register.xml?

     

    Anyway when i run the plugindeveloper tool, the command window opened and asked password.i've entered password and click ENTER.Than got an exception.

    I also tried another method,i copy the register.xml to the bin\debug of the workflow project and Build the project.Then i opened the Plugin registration tool and connect.Then i imported the register.xml file.Clicked import selected Plugins Button.Then also i got an error,

    Unhandled Exception: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request.
