You say in your post that there are quite some tools out there that can export lists to an list definition XML.
I never used some of those tools. Wich one do you recommend?

Hey Emile

Great Article and you seem to be the only one who published a working solution on this problem.

I’m kind of a Beginner in SPD and need to import a workflow into a Sharepoint struggeling with the syntax of your application. What is the handler “-name”? Can you use any name or is it a specific one. If so, how or where can i get this one?

Cheers and thanks again for the great article

Hi Emile,

very nice post here, thank you.

You wrote: “Export these lists for packaging as you are used to when packaging lists into features, you should already know how to do so.”

Can you please give me a tip how to export lists into features or which tool you use, thank you in advance.

Regards,

Joerg

[...] Packaging and Re-using SharePoint Designer Workflows (Part 2) (Agile|Direct – Emile Bosch’s Sharepoint Blog)The purpose of this article is to explain how to create SPD workflows which are portable using an approach as described in an previous post. I’ve written an small BETA tool to export, import and attach the workflows. The GUID replacement is not the most elegant approach, but is faster than rewriting Microsoft’s SPD activities. Anyway I wanted explain how it should work already. [...]
