How to fetch Workflow ID from Workflow Instance ID in Dynamics 365?

This is regarding CodeActivities in Microsoft CRM Workflows in Dynamics CRM 365. I need to fetch notes related to a workflow in my code activity. For that I need workflow Id of that workflow in my code activity. But there is only Workflow Instance Id in code activity context and not the Workflow Id. How can I get workflow Id form workflow Instance Id?

You can use following code to get id of workflow using C#:

IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

//Retrieve processid of current workflow instance
Entity asyncOperation = service.Retrieve("asyncoperation", 
    context.OperationId, new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.ColumnSet("workflowactivationid"));

var workflowid = asyncOperation.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("workflowactivationid").Id;

After that you can use it to fetch notes.

Unfortunately you cannot get this directly.

Workaround is to setup an Input Parameter & send the Workflow name or even Workflow Id as a configuration item in designer. Read this Input param in codeactivity & retrieve the annotations associated with it.

This way, even if you have multiple workflows calling/executing the same codeactivity will work nicely.
