Hi,

As per the workflow that you’ve designed, to capture the comments you need to declare 2 variables each approval of type string, one for CommentApproved and other for CommentRejected.

This could be done at design time (In the start activity) or runtime (Before you execute the workflow)

Design Time (In the start activity):

You need to declare variables of type string in the start activity as follows:

OR

Runtime (Before you execute the workflow) [I recomment this option]:

        VariablesCollection varCol = new VariablesCollection();

        varCol.Add("^Approval1CommentApproved", "string", "");

        varCol.Add("^Approval1CommentRejected", "string", "");

        varCol.Add("^Approval2CommentApproved", "string", "");

        varCol.Add("^Approval2CommentRejected", "string", "");

        varCol.Add("^Approval3CommentApproved", "string", "");

        varCol.Add("^Approval3CommentRejected", "string", "");

        Client client = new Client("RepositoryName","WorkflowName");

        client.Execute("userprovider::userid", "<data>1</data>",varCol);

        client.Close();

And you can display the details in the custom ASPX page as follows:

You can access the variables as follows:

protected WebWorkItemAdapter adapter;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        if (!this.IsPostBack)

        {

            adapter = new WebWorkItemAdapter();

            adapter.ProcessWebChannelRequest();           

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(adapter.CurrentWorkItem.CurrentContext.Variables["^Approval1CommentApproved"].Value))

{

// handle it

}

      }

    }

In other word, in appoval2 i will see what happen in approval1 and so on.

but almost it will work...

Hi,

Please place a script activity in between Approval1 and Approval2. In Script activity, the fifth parameter of Run method, i.e. inlink, which is of type string holds the decision that has been taken up by the previous activity. So please declare a variable of type string in variableCollection. Eg: Approval1Decision

I’ve used the CSharp as my scripting language.

public class Script1

{

public string Run(int ExecutionId, int ExecutionDetailsId, Workflow.NET.Engine.Context ctx, Action action, string inlink)

{

ctx.Variables["Approval1Decision"] = inlink;

ctx.SaveVariables();

return “”;

}

}

And you can display the value to show which decision has been taken by the previous activity.

string outPutApproval1="";
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(CurrentContext.Variables["^Approval1ApprovingUsers"].Value))
{
   outPutApproval1="Rejected"; 
 }
else
{
outPutApproval1="Approved"; 

}

Please not that this variable is of type Array and you have to Use an ArrayList to get the value of the variable

ArrayList temp = new ArrayList();
temp = (ArrayList)CurrentContext.Variables["^Approval1ApprovingUsers"].Value;

Hi,

Please remove the "s" from all the variables and try again.

For Eg: From "^Approval1CommentsApproved" to "^Approval1CommentApproved".

I apologize for the miscommunication in the earlier post and it is corrected now.

Please refer to the post. http://www.skelta.com/forum/FindPost308.aspx
