Common situation when designing workflow is that you start to design workflow in SharePoint Designer and then you want to add some code in Visual Studio.
In the following example, I will go through the procedure to create a workflow in SharePoint Designer and then open it and deploy it from Visual Studio.
Let’s start by creating a reusable workflow in SharePoint Designer

Save the workflow and then Save it as a template :
You should see the confirmation :
Now, if you go to the Site Library, you will see this:
Save the .wsp localy and then, open Visual Studio and choose to import a workflow:
You can deploy it as a sandbox:
and select your .wsp and all the elements included in the .wsp:
Wait for importation to be completed:

Just select Resolve Automatically to delete the workflow deployed by SharePoint Designer.
From the website, you should now see that the feature corresponding to this workflow is activated:
Then add the workflow on a document library:
Then, start a workflow on a document:
