    Hi, very good article!

    Can I create a custom action to initiate a list workflow developed on visual studio 2010?

    I do that with a list workflow developed with sharepoint designer, but when I tried to do this with another deployed WKF (make it on VS 2010), I don’t have the workflow to select it.

    Pablo.
