    Type: System.String

    The path, file name, and extension of the solution file that will be created. When the method executes, spaces are removed from the file name, as are other illegal characters. If a solution file (.wsp) with the same name already exists on the specified path, it is overwritten.

    Detailed information that describes the template.

  • workflowTemplateName
    Type: System.String

    The name of the workflow template to export. The template must exist on the Web site.

Examples

You should substitute the name of a workflow template that exists on your site before running the code.
