Starting a SharePoint workflow from code (Event Receiver)

This article explains how to trigger a SharePoint workflow from an Event Receiver, allowing validation checks before starting the workflow. It covers locating the workflow GUID in AssemblyInfo.cs, writing custom logic in the event receiver to determine if the workflow should start, and using the StartWorkflow method. The approach avoids automatic triggers on item creation or changes, giving more control over workflow execution. Suitable for developers with basic SharePoint workflow and event receiver knowledge.
