snippets in feature.xml and workflow.xml file in vs 2008

Posted by ken zheng on April 21, 2008

If the code snippets are not showing up in Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Code Snippets Manager, change the language to XML, and add “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\1033\Snippets\SharePoint Server Workflow” to your snippets.
 

If you’re like me and don’t have Tools –> Code Snippets Manager in VS 2008 VWD, do this:

From the Tools menu, click Customize.

  1. In the Categories list, click Tools.
  2. With the Customize dialogue box still open, open the Tools menu.
  3. Back in the Customize dialogue box, in the Commands list, drag Code Snippets Manager and drop it on the Tools menu.
  4. Click Close on the Customize dialogue box.

If you get this error when try to create a sharepoint wf in vs 2008.

you need to create a workflow from sharepoint site to be able to create a WF from VS 2008, this means go to your document in the sharepoint site the from the menu select  Settings —> Document Library Settings —> workFlow settings —> then Add a Workflow. Create a dummy document and then start the workflow.

after u finish this u will be able to create a WF from VS 2008 and make sure the url without / at the end, should look like “http://app01:17768/sites/u2ucourse”
