5. Error : The Workflow absolutely working fine in development server and when we deploying the solution and activating the feature. It’s throwing below error.
System.InvalidOperationException: Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityValidationException: Workflow XAML failed validation due to the following errors: Cannot create unknown type ‘{wf://workflow.windows.net/$Activities}GetCurrentItemId’.
Root Cause Analysis:
In the workflow visual studio automatically referring the below DLL. This DLL will place automatically when you installed VS2012. Since we do not have Visual Studio in Staging its keep throwing the above error (which mentioned).
“Microsoft.SharePoint.DesignTime.Activities.dll” and the physical path of this dll located in below path, where the Visual Studio related dll’s are placing and when installed Visual Studio.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.SharePoint.DesignTime.Activities.dl
Solution :
Now, we have fixed this issue keeping above dll into inetpub/_app_bin folder and referring this in Workflow project. Then the same thing we are doing in Staging also. Then the workflow started working.
Thanks!..
