Remarks

This method calls UpdateWorkflowAssociationsOnChildren(Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean) with bGenerateFullChangeList, true, true, and true.

This method propagates changes in the parent content type’s workflow associations down to all derived and list versions of the content type that can be found within the content type’s scope. If you pass false as the argument to the bGenerateFullChangeList parameter, SPContentType objects touched by this operation are not flagged as changed and OnChanged events are not raised. An exception is thrown if the changes cannot be written to any child content type because it is marked as sealed or read-only.
