Question

I’m programatically creating a subsite based on a list item. I need to access the SPWorkflowActivationProperties object in order to get the Site, Web and Item fields.

So I’ve created my workflow and created a class and now I need to access the properties, but I am unsure how. Is there an easy way to access the workflow object that I have overlooked? Or am I supposed to create my methods within in the workflow class? Trying to learn this the proper way.

Thanks

You can access them via a dependency property declared in your custom activity. The web, list, list item information is accessible either via the __ActivationProperties (of type SPWorkflowActivationProperties) or via the __Context (of type WorkflowContext) property.

You can find a tutorial how to declare and use them here.
