How to find and delegate a workflow c#

Hi, could anyone provide a sample of how to find a workflow using c# web services and then delegate the workflow.

I don't have a code sample, but you would just need to use the WorkflowService. To search for a workflow you would use the ListProcesses() method and to delegate the task you would use the DelegateWorkItem() method.

Hi Markl

I don't do C# but it shouldn't take too much to port this Powershell snippet:

    try {$OTWSws = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $OT_WS_AUTH}    catch {        $errmsg = "Could not connect to $OT_WS_AUTH because " + $error[0].Exception.Message        LogMessage $errmsg $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR $LOG_ERR        return $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR        }        $authtoken = $OTWSws.authenticateuser($luser,$lpass)    try {$sotmem = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $OT_WS_MEMBER}    catch {        $errmsg = "Could not connect to $OT_WS_MEMBER because " + $error[0].Exception.Message        LogMessage $errmsg $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR $LOG_ERR        return $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR        }    $tmp = $sotmem.getType().namespace    $attribute=New-Object($tmp + ".OTAuthentication")    $attribute.AuthenticationToken=$authtoken    $sotmem.OTAuthenticationValue = $attribute     try {$member = $sotmem.getmemberbyloginname('kinch')    catch {        $errmsg = "Could not find kinch because " + $error[0].Exception.Message        LogMessage $errmsg $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR $LOG_ERR        return $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR        }     try {$sotwf = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $OT_WS_WORKFLOW}    catch {        $errmsg = "Could not connect to $OT_WS_WORKFLOW because " + $error[0].Exception.Message        LogMessage $errmsg $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR $LOG_ERR        return $ERRMSG_E_SYSTEM_ERROR        }    $tmp = $sotwf.getType().namespace    $attribute=New-Object($tmp + ".OTAuthentication")    $attribute.AuthenticationToken=$authtoken    $sotwf.OTAuthenticationValue = $attribute        $ph = New-Object($tmp + ".processsearchoptions")    $ph.pagesize=20    $ph.RetrieveActivities = $false    $ph.RetrieveProcessData = $false    $ph.where = ""    try {$lwfs = $sotwf.listprocesses($ph)}    catch {        $errmsg = "Could not retrieve workflow assignment list because " + $error[0].Exception.Message        LogMessage $errmsg $ERRMSG_E_LOAD_APPLICATION $LOG_ERR        return $ERRMSG_E_LOAD_APPLICATION        }    foreach ($proc in $lwfs.processes) {        if ($proc.'Title' -eq 'workflow to search for') {            try ($sotwf.delgateworkitem($proc.processid, $proc.subprocessid, '', $member.ID)        }     }

You can populate $ph.where to narrow down the results though I'm not 100% of the format of the string, also as getlistprocessesresults() uses a pagehandle, it really should be in a loop in case there are more results then fit within a single page (12 in the above). But this should get you pretty far down the road.
