New Component does not exist when in Workflow using Core Service

Question

In Tridion 2011 SP1, I am trying to read a new Component using a Schema associated with workflow using this Core Service code:

ComponentData wfItem = client.Read(componentUri, new ReadOptions()) as ComponentData;

I get the following error:

The item tcm:2-268-16 does not exist.

I also tried with tcm:2-268-16-v0 and got the same error.

Can I specify some magic ReadOptions to open it?

Works for me :) This is what I tried:

var netTcpBinding = new NetTcpBinding {
    MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2147483647,
    ReaderQuotas = new XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas {
        MaxStringContentLength = 2147483647,
        MaxArrayLength = 2147483647
    }
};

var remoteAddress = new EndpointAddress("net.tcp://localhost:2660/CoreService/2011/netTcp");

using (var client = new SessionAwareCoreServiceClient(netTcpBinding, remoteAddress)) {
    ReadOptions readOptions = new ReadOptions();
    ComponentData component = client.Read("tcm:21-990", readOptions) as ComponentData;
    Console.WriteLine("ComponentData: " + component.Title);
}

Using the code above, I executed it on several Components:

• new Component in workflow (with and without -v0 at the end of the TCMURI);
• existing Component in Workflow (with and without -v0);
• new Component not in workflow;
• existing Component not in workflow;

I did execute the code as administrator and the Components in question were used by me. Maybe your case is different? and Maybe that could be the problem?
