Hello again.
today i've resumed the hands on labs. on lab02, i've just created a new activity libary with one activity placed inside it. this activity is on a solution which also has a workflow project.
the docs say that when i build the activity i'm supposed to see an ew category on the toolbox. well, it just happens that i don't see anything there! is this a bug
i'm asking this because as i sai in previous posts, most of the things that these labs show don't work anymore...
the labs again: why aren't the new custom activities added to the toolbox?

Don't be upset :-) Building an activity library in the same solution as a workflow project and then seeing that activity in the toolbox for the workflow project should work on both VS Beta 2/WF Beta 1 and VS RTM/WF Beta 1.2.
If you are not seeing it you could try doing a build clean. Restarting Visual Studio and then doing a build all. We had some old bugs that this would clean out.
If you are still not seeing it you could try right clicking on the toolbox and doing the customise thing. You can select an add activity librarys to your toolbox from any activity library by this method.

Well i must say that i have vs2005 rtm and wwf beta 1.2 and it works for me.
Right now i try it. I've created New project - sequential workflow console application. Then Add->New Item->Activity, i insert something there and choose build, then i doubleclick on Workflow1.cs and i see new group in Toolbox which has name of my project and there is that new Activity. And all of this is done in one project.

well, i've been doing the labs (or should i say, trying ) at work. in this case, i have a solution which contains 2 projects. one is the activity lib and the other is a console workflow proj. according to the docs, i should see the activity after building the activity lib and when i opened the sequential workflow file. this is not happneing at work. when i get home, I'll try to do that and see if it works.

well, the only way i've found to use my custom activity was the last option you've mentioned (ie, i'veright clicked the toolbox and added my activity). i'm not really upset...maybe just a little bit disapointed because till now (i'm only in lab02) most of the things are not working well. yes, i know that this is a beta product; however, I've been using asp.net 2.0 since pre-beta 1 and haven't really faced half of the problems i'm seeing now (maybe that's because there wasn't a hands on labs :) )
