Issue which i facing is follows.

I have attached sp2010 approval workflow to list on item created.

When i insert entry into list manually, and it display workflow status is In Progress, it means workflow runs perfectly.

now issue with insert entry programatically.

When i insert entry through code. there is not displaying workflow status in that list item. it means workflow not attached. and not working

My Code for inserting items is

        SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
        {
            using (SPSite spsite = new SPSite(siteurl))
            {
                using (SPWeb spweb = spsite.OpenWeb())
                {
                    SPList splist = spweb.Lists["My List"];
                    SPListItem oItem= splist.AddItem();;

                    oItem["Title"] = txtTitle.Text;
                    oItem["Author"] = objSPUser;
                    oItem["Editor"] = objSPUser;
                    oItem.Update();
                }
            }
        });

I need to use SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges function because user has not rights for that list.

User can Insert records through dashboard. so i updating Created By and Modified by using System account.

How to resolve ?

or any other alternate way to do this instead SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges

Something must be happening to the event receiver that gets kicked off for on Item Added. I suspect a racing condition. Anyways, My suggestion would be to manually start the workflow when creating the list item manually. – Fox Jan 11 at 9:54

afaik you cannot trigger a workflow if you use the System Account, try and impersonate another user – Anders Aune Jan 11 at 10:25
RunWithElevatedPriveleges should not be used to circumvent the SharePoint security model. If you need higher level access you should use user impersonation. – rjcup3 Jan 11 at 15:02
