Workflow in visual studio 2013.

I am trying to create Workflow in visual studio 2013.
Workflow scenario is to collect data from reviewer ( comments and other data) and update comments to list item and send those comments to requester in email and based on data entered by reviewer, assign task.
How to get comments and other data from task?
Thank you, Anil

Capture such info in workflow variables. Check out

http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-designer-help/collect-data-from-a-user-in-a-workflow-HA010209808.aspx to get the idea.

Create SharePoint 2013 workflow using visual studio 2013

Dear Team,
How to create a workflow for template approval process using visual studio 2013.To achieve this do i need to install share point on my machine.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a SharePoint 2013 workflow using Visual Studio 2013.
We need setting up and configuring Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 and the Workflow Manager Client 1.0 server, see Start:
Set up and configure SharePoint 2013 Workflow Manager.

SharePoint 2013 State Machine Workflow Developped using Visual Studio 2013 Terminated

Hi all,
I developped a state machine workflow using Visual Studio 2013, and deplyed to SharePoint 2013, the workflow work fine for first task, and some times for second task.
after that the workflow become terminated with below error:
- System.Activities.Statements.WorkflowTerminatedException: The workflow instance exceeded the throttle of 10000 activities executed in a row and could not be unloaded because it was not persistable.
I spent many days to solve this issue but witout any result...
Please advice...

Hi,
According to your description, there seems an endless loop in your workflow which makes the workflow exceed the throttle.
A suggestion is that you can create a new clean sample state machine workflow firstly, when it works without error, then adding other activities with custom logic
gradually.
By doing this, it would be easier to find out what might cause the error in this workflow.

Adding a ECB item menu action to a declarative Visual Studio 2013 Workflow

Hi
I have build a Sandbox 2013 workflow in Visual Studio which I can attach to my desired list. I want my users to be able to trigger this workflow via the item ECB menu as your can in an App Client Control. Is this easy to do say with a feature
- assuming you specify the list on workflow initiation.
Do I need to import my workflow into SPD 2013 and play around with Actions but that sounds a bit dodgy!
Regards
Daniel
Freelance consultant

Hi Daniel,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add ECB menu and start a
special workflow.

Import SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows into Visual Studio 2012

I have some 2013 workflows created with SharePoint Designer 2013. I can save the workflows as templates ie WSP files but i cannot figure out how to import them into visual studio 2012. Is this possible? please note the import resusable workflows option
is for sharepoint 2010.

"The workflow activities/actions are in separate assemblies, and each tool references a different one." so you will get an error when you try to open the SPD workflow using Visual Studio.
Please check similar thread below for more details

Hi,

workflow, and the task want a collection<string> in the AssignedTo-box. How do i store these logins in a collection<string> object? What datatype do I use for my workflow argument to store these logins from the javascript(wfParams) in my InitForm.aspx?
//Regards Kjell

Hi,
To develop SharePoint 2013 workflows using Visual Studio 2012, it requires to set up a workflow development environment first.
It is recommended to look through the two documentations from MSDN about
Prepare to set up and configure a SharePoint workflow development environment
before starting the workflow development:

The Visual Studio 2013 setup wizard said "Setup failed" many times when I UNINSTALL it.

I hope somebody can help me... Sorry for my bad English.
I had Visual Studio 2013 installed about two years ago. But I don't need it now and I want to uninstall it. However, the setup wizard said "Setup failed" after I clicked "uninstall" for a while. And it said:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
Fatal error during installation.

I have tried repair it, but it said:

After repair, I clicked "uninstall" and it tipped me the same error.
Thanks very much.

Hello Sakura Chino,
The Visual Studio installation will leave some components on your OS for repair/uninstall. The problem seems related to this. If you can find the installer which you used to install Visual Studio 2013, then please use it to repair and uninstall. It
will fix problems on your OS so please don't try to uninstall from control panel.
If you cannot find the source installer, please download the same version of Visual Studio 2013 ISO from here:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx
Then verify it's hash value by refer to the following page:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs
After that, you can use that installer to repair then uninstall.
If you still meet any problem, please use the following tool to fix:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall
It is for Visual Studio 2010 or previous versoin, but some customers fixed problems by using this tool. I think you can also have a try on it.

Barry

Unable to see function return values in Visual Studio 2013 debugger

Hi!
I can't see function return values in

Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.51650
Installed Version: Ultimate<o:p></o:p>
as described in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/06/27/seeing-function-return-values-in-the-debugger-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx
So what can I do to get this functionality back?
MsdnMezzo

Hi MsdnMezzo,
Reference:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/06/27/seeing-function-return-values-in-the-debugger-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx
If use the same sample in the above blog provided by you, how about the result? Could you debug it with the same steps? I could debug it in my side using the VS2013.
So to make sure that whether it is your VS IDE issue, please debug it with this sample, if it works well, I doubt that we would think about your specific project and the debugging steps.
If so, to really repro this issue, could you share us a sample with one drive? You could upload your project to one drive and share us the downloaded link in your new reply, I will download and repro this issue in my side.

Unit Testing with Microsoft Sharepoint Emulators and Fakes with Visual Studio 2013

Hi All,
I have created Test Project and now creating Test cases for Sharepoint. I found a link on MSDN which suggests using Fakes framework but it supports VS2012 and I am using Visual Studio 2013.
So how can I use it with VS2013 or is there any other way with which I can implement the Test cases with VS2013.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu Nigam

Hi HimanshuNigam,
According to your descrition, my understanding is that you want to use Fakes framework to create test case for SharePoint project in Visual Studio 2013.
If you want to test using Fakes Framework, you can use the codeplex extension to achieve it. It supports Visual Studio 2013.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
Better Unit Testing with Microsoft Fakes
About how to include the Nuget package, you can use the package with the link below:
NuGet Package Manager for Visual Studio 2013
Installing NuGet
If you still have question about this issue, I suggest you can create a post in Visual Studio, more experts will help you and you can get more detailed information from there:

How do I put a project using nmake (or other make util) into a visual studio 2013 project?

I'm not asking how to convert it over to visual studio's internal setup. I want to use the custom build feature to build the code prior to building the current project so that the library generated will be available to the project.
Steps I've used I got from
here:
Create a win32 dll project.
Copy the files into a subdirectory under the project.
In the Solution Explorer, I create a Filter that I then add all of the source, headers and Makefile to.
I select all of the items in that filter group and right click and select properties.
In Configuration Properties->General, I change Item Type to Custom Build Tool and click Apply. (In the Visual Studio 2013 community, this sometimes comes up with:
An error has occured while saving the edited properties listed below:
One or more values are invalid. Object reference not set to an instance of and object.
Yeah, that's not cryptic. 9.9. When that happens, I just click Ok and then click on the parent window, and it will ask me
Do you want to save the changes you've made to the property page?
To which I click Yes and it seems to apply it to all the files and I then reopen the property page again.
I then go to Configuration Properties->Custom Build Tool->General and set
Command Line to:
cd subfolder
nmake
For Outputs, I set it to subfolder\bin\output-file.lib.
For Link Objects, I leave it as Yes.
Clicking on ok and then building gets me the following error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'subfolder\bin\output-file.lib'.
Yeah, no kidding, it hasn't been made yet.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Adrian

I was trying to get it to be part of another project, and the information from Specifying Custom Build Tools stated:
If the Custom
Build Tool folder does not appear, the file extension of the file you selected is associated with a default tool. For example,
the default tool for .c and .cpp files is the compiler. To override a default tool setting, in the Configuration
Properties node, in the General folder,
in the Item Type property,
click Custom Build Tool.
Click Apply and
the Custom Build Tool node
is displayed.
Indicating that what I was trying to accomplish could be done. However, since this is 3rd party code, this seems to be a cleaner way of doing it.
Thanks,
