I'm implementing a modified version of the Send Email WorkflowType.
I've copied the type from the SharedSource code.
So far I have only changed the class name, GUID, name and description from the original.
However, when I select this new type from the drop down in the "Add Workflow" dialog, I get and object reference not set to an instance of an object error.
E.g.
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
Umbraco.Forms.UI.Dialogs.editWorkflowDialog.LoadSettings(Form form) in d:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\39da791f9304089a\Umbraco.Forms.UI\Dialogs\editWorkflowDialog.aspx.cs:111
Umbraco.Forms.UI.Dialogs.editWorkflowDialog.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in d:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\39da791f9304089a\Umbraco.Forms.UI\Dialogs\editWorkflowDialog.aspx.cs:69
This is where the default Send Email would display the fields for entering recipient email address, etc. Is there something I need to set up to get those working with my own implementation? What else do I need to do?
Thanks for the reply Pete. I checked in with the Umbraco guys and it seems there is a bug with adding WorkflowType classes in the app_code folder. Right now to fix this I have compiled it as a DLL and included in the bin folder.

I'm assuming the control reference needs to change as Contour.SharedSource isn't available within actual Contour...
[Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Email", description = "Enter the receiver email", control = "Contour.SharedSource.FieldSetting.TextField")]
public string Email { get; set; }
Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.TextArea works. Go me.
Pete - did you have any issues having the custom workflowtype show up in the drop down in Contour? I can't seem to get mine to show up. Thread here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/11917-Custom-WorkflowType-not-showing-in-new-workflow-drop-down

No problems getting it to appear in the list as far as I can remember sorry, James.
