PublishWorkflow error when workflow contains custom code activity

Question

I've failed to get a custom code activity working within Workflow Manager 1.0 even though I believe I've performed all of the guidance steps provided.
As other posts, I get the usual 'cannot create unknown type' error:
client.PublishWorkflow( workflowName, @"..\..\TestWorkflow.xaml" );->
Cannot create unknown type '{wf://workflow.windows.net/$Current/$Activities}SendMailActivity'.
The activity is implemented as:
namespace SharedActivities
public sealed class SendMailActivity : CodeActivity
I've created an AllowedTypes.xml file containing the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<AllowedTypes>
<Assembly Name="SharedActivities">
<Namespace Name="SharedActivities">
<Type>SendMailActivity</Type>
</Namespace>
</Assembly>
</AllowedTypes>
The SharedActivities assembly has the following Post Build event command line
net stop "Workflow Manager Backend"
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd stop apppool /apppool.name:"WorkflowMgmtPool"
xcopy /y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Program Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\WFWebRoot\bin"
xcopy /y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\Program Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\Artifacts"
copy /y $(ProjectDir)AllowedTypes.xml "C:\Program Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\WFWebRoot\bin"
copy /y $(ProjectDir)AllowedTypes.xml "C:\Program Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\Artifacts"
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd start apppool /apppool.name:"WorkflowMgmtPool"
net start "Workflow Manager Backend"Execution output : 1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: SharedActivities, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
The assembly containing the custom activity is loaded into the Workflow host process.
I've configured my machine (development) to allow unsafe types.
I've also
uploaded my project so you can verify the implementation.
Thanks in advance, Adam

I did following step in your VS project.
Remove SendMailActivity from TestWorkflow.Xaml
Commented out "[assembly: XmlnsDefinition("wf://workflow.windows.net/$Current/$Activities", "SharedActivities")]
" line from SharedActivities assemblyInfo.cs file
build the project
Added SendMailActivity activity in TestWorkflow.xaml
run the program.
Above steps seems to be working for me..
