Hi,
I got a problem when using workflow in ASP.NET. I downloaded the ASP.NET workflow sample from the site and added the WorkflowRuntime.Addservice( new SqlTrackingService(constr) ) and SqlWorkflowPersistence.
When I ran the application, it returns an error stating that I cannot add those services when the workflow runtime is stared...
please help.

ASP.NET and SqlWorkflowPersistence problem

Are you using Beta2 I will recommend you to switch to Beta 2.2.
However there are some issues in beta2.2 in hosting workflows in ASP.NET. Check this blog for details

and this blog for a sample

You should add the services before StartRuntime method is called. For ASP.NET application you can add the services in the web.config in WorkflowRuntime Section
< xml version="1.0" >
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">

But my sample ASP.NET code does not explicitly invoke the StartRuntime() method of the workflow runtime instance. It uses the WorkflowWebRequestContext.Current.WorkflowRuntime instead.
I also incorporated the web.config code in your reply in my web.config project, but still the proble/error persists.
Please help.
