Hi,

I have created a custom activity where the project name is "WaitFormToBeClosed" and the class have the same name, when I add the activity to SPD and click finish I get an error:

"errors were found when compiling the workflow.The workflow files were saved but can't be run"

and the details are:

(651,35).The type name "WaitFormToBeClosed" doesn't exist in the type "WaitFormToBeClosed.WaitFormToBeClosed"

I added the dll to GAC and added it in authorized types in the web.config that exists in both IIS root and in Config folder and I couldn't figure out what may be the problem so kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Same problem, but just on one installation an other works fine. Is there any SPD Log or debug message to find the problem?

I cant open the default.aspx file in SPD HTML version.

It does open in notepad but when selected SPD HTML as the default editor, it does nothing.

Does anybody know what could be the issue?

As Edgardo and Pantera71 question

How do you get the workflow's initiator name and save it in a variable?

And supplementary....

Can this be done in Sharepoint Designer and if so how it’s such a basic simple requirement?

Any help would be most gratefully received, it's driving me nuts!!
