We're updating some of our product names. K2 Five is now Nintex Automation. You may see both product names in our help pages while we make this change.

About Authoring Workflows (Legacy)

This topic is relevant for systems that were upgraded from K2 4.7 to K2 Five and still have access to the Silverlight Workflow designer. Clean installs of K2 Five do not have this functionality.

This set of namespaces represents the way you programmatically create new workflows, modify existing ones, and create your own workflow authoring objects. Some common tasks include:

Building a new workflow definition (SourceCode.Workflow.Design)
Modifying an existing workflow definition (SourceCode.Workflow.Design)
Inheriting from classes to build your own workflow authoring objects (SourceCode.Workflow.Authoring)
Deploying workflows (SourceCode.Framework and SourceCode.DeploymentTasks)

The assemblies in this object model area include the following:

SourceCode.DeploymentTasks
SourceCode.Framework
SourceCode.Workflow.Authoring
SourceCode.Workflow.VisualDesigners
SourceCode.Workflow.Design
SourceCode.ResolverFramework

See the topic Workflow Authoring Samples for sample code that demonstrates various uses of the design-time authoring APIs.
