Adding Workflow Activities to the Visual Studio ToolBox

So you've thought you've setup all the environment to develop SharePoint Workflows using Visual Studio. However, when you create a SharePoint Sequential Workflow Library, the toolbox for SharePoint is empty whilst you know there should be something there.

To add those activities to your workflow project. In the workflow designer page, right click on the Toolbox pane and Choose Add Tab and create your SharePoint Workflow Tab. Right click on the new tab and select Choose Items. Select the Activities tab and click Browse. Browse to %\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\ISAPI\ Select the Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions.dll and click OK. This adds all the Workflow Actions activities to your toolbox.
