Missing Windows SharePoint Services Workflow Code Snippets
Posted by Steve Pietrek on June 7, 2007
Today, while messing around with a SharePoint Hello World Workflow project, I ran into an issue where the code snippets for feature.xml and workflow.xml files went missing in Visual Studio 2005. I found this link.
Steps to Fix:
- In Visual Studio 2005, on the Tools menu, click Code Snippets Manager.
- Change the language to XML.
- Add [System]:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\1033\Snippets\Windows SharePoint Services Workflow to your snippets.
