Hi
My workflow will be associated with infopath form documents,and I want to access some data in that form inside my workflow activties in runtime.
please tell me which object or api should I use to accomplish this.
thanks in advance
Hi Josh - there is no special API we ship for dealing with Infopath documents in WF. I am not sure if Sharepoint team has any special activities [custom activities written by them] that will help read/write infopath documents directly. At the core of it, infopath documents are xml documents so you should be able to use the .NET xml classes to read/write.
How you use it inside workflow is really very varied. You could write the .NET code inside a CodeActivity, or have it in the event handler code for one of our OOB activities. Its simply a matter of when to read that decides where you put the code.
Hope that helps!

I have the same problem: I need to access data on my document. I think access to the data given the document is not a problem (I guess it would be just like with associationData: deserialization with a class generated by xs given the infopath form source).
But I don't know how to access to the document itself. With the association form, it's this.workflowProperties.associationData, what is it for the document on which the workflow is used?
Thanks for any help!
