How to create workflows using C# on Sharepoint 2013?

Question

I am trying to copy a site on to a different location using code and I could not any code snippet to do the same. I am getting the Workflow associations using the following code but have no clue how to re-create them on the destination site.

public static List<SPWorkflowAssociation> GetAllWorkFlowAssociations(String source)  
        {  
            List<SPWorkflowAssociation> wfas = new List<SPWorkflowAssociation>();  
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite(source))  
            {  
                SPWebCollection webs = site.AllWebs;  
                foreach (SPWeb web in webs)  
                {  
                    foreach (SPList list in web.Lists)  
                    {  
                        SPWorkflowAssociationCollection collection = list.WorkflowAssociations;  
                        foreach(SPWorkflowAssociation wfa in collection){  
                            Console.WriteLine(wfa.Name+" Current list: "+wfa.TaskListTitle+" Author: "+wfa.Author);  
                            wfas.Add(wfa);  
                        }  
                    }  
                }  
            }  
            return wfas;  
        }

Hi @Puneeth, C ,

According to my research and testing, unfortunately, we can start and stop the workflow using CSOM. And get data from workflow by CSOM. But we can not add conditions into workflow by CSOM. In other words, we cannot create the workflow using CSOM.

Thanks for your understanding.
