In workflow 3.0-3.5 you could explicitly set the Id of a workflow you start.

In workflow 3.0-3.5 you could explicitly set the Id of a workflow you start. This feature was particularly useful. I cannot see a way to do this in Workflow 4.0. Does anyone know if this is possible? Since the Id property is read-only and there is no overloaded constructor accepting an Id, the only possible mechanism I see is if there is a magic key that could be used when passing the IDictionary object into the WorkflowApplication constructor.

Cheers,
Rohland

    In WF4 there is no way to do this and the ID is always generated by the WorkflowApplication. The arguments dictionary isn’t going to help you there either.

    Why do you want to specify a Guid for a workflow instead of the WorkflowApplication providing one for you?
