Check if SPWorkflow is running

Question

I have a SPWorkflow object and I want to check if this workflow is running. It's a Sandbox solution so I don't have access to SPWorkflow.SPWorkflowStatus.

I have tried the following:

if (workflow.InternalState != SPWorkflowState.Running)
{
     // the workflow is not running
}

but what I get in workflow.InternalState is a list of SPWorkflowState enum values: "Running" and "NotStarted". This doesn't make any sense to me.

It should be a pretty simple thing but just can't get it to work.

Does anyone have the solution to this?

Answer 1

There should be a column on your list with the same name as the workflow association.
This column should contain a number which represents a status of your workflow. So if this column is set to 2 then your workflow is running.
