  hi all
  
  i wish anyone could help me with this problem
  
  i have created a declerative sharepoint state machine workflow using c# code
  
  My Enviroment:
  
  1-i am using visual studio 2008
  2- i am using .net framework 3.5
  3-i am using sharepoint 2007
  
  my application:
  
  I have an asp page that contains a button and a text box.
  In the text box i enter the name of the workflow.
  when i press the button:
  1- i create the workflow xaml files. the files are workflow.xoml, workflow.xom.rules and workflow.xoml.config.xml
  2-create a folder with the same name entered in the text box on my asp page
  3-add the workflow xaml files to the folder
  3-add the folder to the built in document library that is hidden in sharepoint called Workflows
  
  my workflow consists of :
  
  1-five states
     a-the first state is the initial state of the workflow
     b-the second state, the third state and the fourth state are the states that i create a task in them and wait for the task to be changed then i complete the task
     c-the fifth state is the final state of the workflow
  
  2-in the second,third state and fourth state i have:
     a-state initialization activity
     b-event driven activity
     c-state finalization activity
  
  3-in the state initialization i have:
     a-create task with content type
   
  4-in the event driven i have :
    a-on task changed activity
    b-set state activity
  
  5-in the state finalization i have
     a-complete task activity
  
  i run the workflow on an item and every thing works fine
  
  problem:
  
  i create a task for a user in the state initialization of every state and the task title is My Task.
  
  the problem is that after i create the task i go to the workflow tasks list and i see in the task title this sentence: My Task (external particpant)
  
  if create a workflow in sharepoint designer i dont see in the title of the task this : (external particpant)
  
  questions:
  
  1-can anyone tell me why i am seeing this in the title of the task
  
  thank you very much
