Some Workflow Foundation events, like that one, are not allowed. The K2 Host Server needs to manage the lifetime of the workflow process, hydrating and dehydratng it when appropriate. Some WF events would interfere with K2's management of the process. When using .NET WF activities, you should only use ones that can be executed as a single unit of work within one K2 activity.
