How to start workflow proces for a bundle?

Question

I would like to start workflow on a Bundle after creating it in the Event System. I have the following code, but the StartWorkflow method fails with "The method or operation is not implemented."

Do I need to first create some workflow items and associate it before doing start workflow?

TcmUri uri = new TcmUri(bundleFolderUri);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle(session, uri);
Schema specificBundleSchema = (Schema)session.GetObject(specificBundleSchemaUri);
bundle.MetadataSchema = specificBundleSchema;

bundle.Title = "Bundle for " + comp.Title;
bundle.Save();

bundle.AddItem(comp);
bundle.Save();

bundle.StartWorkflow();

It's a pity - but really this method is not implemented. I advice you to use something next :

 StartWorkflowInstruction instruction = new StartWorkflowInstruction(session);
 instruction.Subjects.Add(bundle);
 ProcessInstance result = bundle.ContextRepository.StartWorkflow(instruction);

Note, that in StartWorkFlowInstruction you can specify additional information (such as ProcessDefinition). If StartWorkflowInstruction has one subject - Tridion tries to resolve it as Bundle (and in this case it will start workflow for all bundle items). Also with help of this method you can start workflow for specific list of subjects.
