  What happened to the [DataExchangeService] attribute in beta 2.2 I've skimmed through the documented changes from 2.0 to 2.2 and wasn't able to find where it might be. Thank you, -- Sean Nevermind.

• Lama Karmi Timing

  Is it possible to express time constraints within the workflow Yes you use a Delay activity for this.  The Delay activity actually allows the workflow instance to go idle and the host will send an event when the timeout occurs.  The Listen activity has multiple parallel paths which all listen for incoming events.  One path in the Listen activity can wait for a response, another path in the ...Show All

• MamaKike Breakpoints not working

  I'm running the February CTP on WinXP SP2 and Visual Studio Pro. I'm running my development environment inside of a Virtual PC VM. The problem that I'm having is that I can create workflows fine, but breakpoints set up on a workflow activity do not work. I see the hollow circle with the warning when running in debug mode. Breakpoints set on the code beside code such as a CodeActivity handler work. I've looked at the other posts on the foru ...Show All

• Bek Developer Debugging windows?

  I'm seeing here that when I launch the VS debugger on a workflow project, just setting up a couple of breakpoints into the code (not the designer), VS will always open up the Task List and Toolbox windows on the debugger. Even if I close them down, as soon as I launch the debugger again they pop right back up. Is this intentional, or a bug It's annoying :) Thanks, that's good to know... This looks like a VS bug, there were some t ...Show All

  I have a custom window class that supports tool windows that have a slightly smaller caption than the standard tool window class (similar to Photoshop). When theming is available, it uses the DrawThemeBackground API to paint the caption area and min/max/close buttons. My app is getting glass O.K. in all other windows, yet DrawThemeBackground is displaying an opaque caption area and plain ol' buttons. I'm guessing I need to do something more. ...Show All
