Creating several tasks inside single workflow

Question

I try to do it just by using code activity:

        private void codeActivity1_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (SPFieldUserValue performer2 in Performers2_Collection)
            {
                try
                {                    
                    CreateTask CreateNewTask = new CreateTask();
 
                    SPListItem myitem = workflowProperties.Item;
 
                    CreateNewTask.TaskId = Guid.NewGuid();
                    CreateNewTask.TaskProperties = new SPWorkflowTaskProperties();
 
                    CreateNewTask.TaskProperties.TaskType = 0;
                    CreateNewTask.TaskProperties.Title = string.Format("APPROVAL REQUIRED: {0}", "_seminarTitle");
                    CreateNewTask.TaskProperties.AssignedTo = performer2.User.LoginName;
 
                    CreateNewTask.TaskProperties.SendEmailNotification = true;
 
                    CreateNewTask.TaskProperties.ExtendedProperties["OriginatorUser"] = workflowProperties.OriginatorUser.LoginName;
 
                }
                catch { }
 
            }

But none of tasks are created (

What should i do with CreateTask object to really create task?

Try calling the Execute method...

Answer 7

Scot hi

Could u tell me how can I complete all tasks if one of them was rejected by user and I need to complete workflow?

Now I'm using :

thistask.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

                ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.Completed] = "TRUE";
                ht["Completed"] = "TRUE";
                ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.PercentComplete] = 1.0f;
                ht["PercentComplete"] = 1.0f;
                ht["Состояние"] = Constants.TaskStatuses.Completed;
                ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.TaskStatus] = SPResource.GetString(new CultureInfo((int)thistask.Web.Language, false), Strings.WorkflowTaskStatusComplete, new object[0]);
                ht[SPBuiltInFieldId.WorkflowOutcome] = "Rejected";
                ht["TaskStatus"] = "Completed";
                ht["FormData"] = SPWorkflowStatus.Completed;
                ht["WorkflowOutcome"] = "Rejected";

                try
                {
                    SPWorkflowTask.AlterTask((thistask as SPListItem), ht, true);
                }
                catch { }

                thistask.Web.Update();

But my workflow for current item doesn't completed ...

Thanks in advance.
