Invoke workflow from coded source file (not from coded workflow)

Help Studio

Is this possible or does it have to be called from a coded workflow?

            var argIn = new Dictionary<string, Object>
            {
         {"assetName", "MyAsset"},
        {"assetValue", "hello world"}
            };

            try
            {
                var result = RunWorkflow("WF.xaml", argIn);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Source);
                Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
                Console.WriteLine(e.Data);
            }

This is the exception I’m getting:

Hi Rickard,

The entry point has to be either a coded workflow or a normal workflow, but maybe I’m confused regarding your exact scenario. Normally, RunWorkflow should work just fine for any scenario, unless you are somehow calling it using InvokeCode in XAML.

If you could share a project where this reproduces, we can definitely take a look.

Thanks,
Alvin

I think I missed the main part and that is I’m running it from a coded source file.
