For SP 2010 workflows there is not a client side API you can use...you can only server side API...approach 2 is only valid for SP 2013 / 2016 workflows (deployed to Windows Azure Workflow)

    Hi, thank you for the answer.

    I created a new web service and deployed it on the SharePoint server. My new service has only one method GetWorkflowsForListItem. Basically it wraps SPListItem.Workflows property.

    MSDN says about this property: Gets the collection of the workflow objects that represent instances of the item workflows that are currently running, but does not get the workflow associations.

    Could you please clarify: "currently running" - does it return only workflows with InternalState == SPWorkflowState.Running?

    I need all workflows regardless their state.
