Does anybody know how to generate workflow email message from word
authoring, not web.

I used "Customizing Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 Authoring
Connector"(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ms_CustAuCo.asp)
instructions. I took the second approach of creating a new application
for the authoring connector server component. The sample code to create
a new file and writing some dummy message to it works but if i include
the code to generate email it is giving
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at
DOT.Workflow.OnSubmit()
pst =
Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.CmsHttpContext.Current.Posting;
usrs = pst.Approvers(true);"

I think it is getting pst as null, can anybody help me please.

Thanks
Sunitha

Hi Sunitha,

you should debug using VS.NET to see which object is null.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the quick reply, I already know that the object
pst =3D
Microsoft.ContentManagement.Pu=ADblishing.CmsHttpContext.Curren=ADt.Posting;
is null.

But not too sure how to go about it. The same workflow.cs works for web
edit. I am not too sure how to use the same for word edit cause for
this i am creating a new application and copying the workflow.cs and
global.asax.cs and global.asax and bin dir to the folder C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\MCMS manually.

Thanks
Sunitha

Hi Suni,

in a workflow event you should use e.Context as context and e.Target as the
current posting:

CmsContext context = e.Context;
Posting p = (Posting) e.Target;

Never user CmsHttpContext in a workflow event!

Cheers,
Stefan
