private void onWorkflowActivated1_Invoked(object sender, ExternalDataEventArgs e)
        {
            workflowId = workflowProperties.WorkflowId;
            XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(myfields));
            try
            {

                XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new System.IO.StringReader(workflowProperties.InitiationData));
                myfields Associationfrm = (myfields)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
                SPListItem myitem = workflowProperties.Item;
            }

Hi Manish

 

I get the same Error.

Did you find a solution to the above issue.

 

When I debug, I get the InitiationData in the workflowProperties, but the line throws a null exception.

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new System.IO.StringReader(workflowProperties.InitiationData));

Please let me know if you have any solutions.

 

Thanks in advance

For reference, I had this issue and it was simply because I renamed the class name of my xsd-generated file (but not my root infopath element) and so the Serializer couldn't map the new class name to the old root element name in my InfoPath form.
