Above forum shows how to save a work flow definition using image. In that  following steps are using 

1. Create a workflow designer
2. Load the workflow definition which you want to save to an image
3. Make sure the workflow designer is drawn by WPF (basically putting it into a visible UI control)
4. Capture an image of the workflow definition
5. Save the image to a file
6. Close the workflow designer

as i need to create a dll with which i have to create image ..

Is it possible ..

Please give  reply urgent...

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Since the function depends on drawing, I afraid you can't do it without loading workflow to WPF. However, you can open a window in your assembly, load the workflow designer and draw the workflow, then save it to an image, close the window.
