Correct way to complete task from code in workflow

Hi All,

If you are working with windows workflow foundation, then you might be knowing that you can complete the task by assigning Completed status for workflow item or making the percentage 100.

But there is possibility where task is actually not completed and you set the percentage to 100 or even you set the status to Completed and percentage shows you only 95% done.

This is not the correct way to do it. There is one interesting thing in the code.

See SPBuiltInFieldId enumeration which will give you list of all hidden fields in MOSS that is actually internally referred by MOSS. Sometimes there are certain columns that is having title different and you have to work with them with different name.

Back to our point, this is the way to actually complete the task.

Hashtable data = new Hashtable();
data[SPBuiltInFieldId.Completed] = "TRUE";
data[SPBuiltInFieldId.PercentComplete] = 1;
data[SPBuiltInFieldId.TaskStatus] =
SPResource.GetString(
new CultureInfo( (int)taskListItem.Web.Language, false),
"WorkflowTaskStatusComplete",
new object[0]);

That's it. you are done with your job.
