I have searched around the internet and there is no simple way found until I came up on a few comments in different blogs. I decided to write my own version.
//Option 1
void WriteToHistoryList(string comment, string outcome)
{
SPWorkflow.CreateHistoryEvent(workflowProperties.Web, this.WorkflowInstanceId, 0, workflowProperties.Web.CurrentUser, new TimeSpan(),
outcome, comment,"" );
}
//Option 2</pre>
void LogToHistoryList(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext, string msg) {
((ISharePointService)executionContext.GetService(typeof(ISharePointService))).LogToHistoryList(base.WorkflowInstanceId, SPWorkflowHistoryEventType.WorkflowComment, 0, new TimeSpan(), string.Empty, msg, string.Empty); }
<pre>
