You know what was the problem ?

I am developing workflow designer with nop code so I am generating only xoml files, so when I tested your command the first time, I just missed the right namespace so it failed .

But I get finally !

Thanks for you !!!

elyes85: Please provide an email address so we can exchange this offline. I need to see your code to reproduce the problem. After that we can talk about the solution.

You can post your address here, it will not be visible to the public because I need to "publish" the comment first and I will not do this with your email address.

Hi to Algeria,

I am not sure what the problems are... but

did you try to set the CompilerOptions on the WorkflowCompilerParameters object?

If you have a namespace for your project "DummyName" and your activity is called "OnTheFlyActivity" and your file is "MyCoolRules.rules", then you would write

it in the format:

/resource:FileName[,Name]

parameters.CompilerOptions = "/resource:MyCoolRules.rules,DummyName.OnTheFlyActivity.rules"

Hope that helped.

have you tried adding a .cs file with your AssemblyInfo to the sources to be compiled?

thanks for your great article Andreas, I would like to know how to assign to the compiled assembly the Culture and Version and PublicKeyToken ....with the workflow designer, when I have only xoml file ????

Please I need your help !

How about compiling a 3rd file... I also need rules for my workflow... so, i have 3 files (xoml, xoml.cs, rules)... what about the rules file? ... i guess it cant be as simple, just to add it to "String[] sources" :)

Thanks Andreas, this was exacly what I am doing these days. It helped me a lot. There is only a few resources for Xoml compilation. Great post!
