  In our projects at work, we have build several complex state machines base on the book "Pratical Statecharts in C/C++" by Miro Samek. I have attempted to re-create some of the sample in the book (Figure 4.3 on page 95 for example), using WF. The Designer inevitable complains that a you can transition to a state that has sub-states.

• Van Vangor No Templates

  Hi, After installing and reinstalling the VS extensions for WF (long with the latest beta 2) I do not get the templates for workflows when adding items to my projects. The weird thing is, a colleague created a project on his machine (where it is working OK with an earlier beta) and then gave me a copy of the project. If I right-click that project I do get the templates. But only for that project. As soon as I try my own, it doesn't work. ...Show All

• C#wanabe Communication between 2 different workflows

  I have a host application (a windows service) and 2 different types of state machine workflows. The workflow1 executes a certain amount of workflow2 and waits for the workflows to return. To do this they need to communicate between each other. I thought workflow2 could send an event to workflow1, in order to tell him when he's finished. Everytime a workflow2 returns it send this event to workflow1, so workflow1 can check if the started workfl ...Show All
