• VB_Programmer Different ending states in EventDriven

  Hello, I am programming a document approval workflow using Beta1. I'm using a state machine workflow to model the different states the document goes on. Sometimes after the occurrence of an event I need to go in different states according to determinate conditions as for example after teh response of an approver according to the content of this response. I noticed that the designer doesn't allow me to put a SetState if not as the l ...Show All

The service works fine as long as I trigger it by the instance's terminate event (Runtime -> WorkflowTerminated), but I want to prevent  the instance from terminating and instead suspend it so it could be resumed and starts at the State that caused an error previously. Is anyone there who could give me a ...Show All

I expected an infinite execution graph, allowing me to change the alpha value of the top z-order pin continuou ...Show All
