i want to check on this form the statu of the workflow and if it is running then i wwant to inform the user accordingly. how do i check the status of workflow on this form?

Answer 1

Use SPWorkflowActivationProperties.Workflow to get the current instance of the workflow running on that item.

Then, use SPWorkflow.ISCompleted or SPWorkflow.InternalState property to find out status of the running workflow and you can inform the user accordingly.
