• Vbeginer.net How does it compare to the ISV's like K2 & Captaris Teamplate??

  This weekend I'm planning to take a dive into WWF, very excited about the potential of this new platform. One of the first things I want to find out is how WWF compares to other workflow solutions. I've worked with both K2.net and Captaris Teamplate, from which I definitely prefer the first one. Of course the integration in MS products will be far better, but how does it perform, how do the BAM tools compare, does it bring easier user managemen ...Show All

  What is the simplest way to deploy Infopath forms as Sharepoint web parts, not simply as stored documents I would like to have the form appear when the page or web part opens, not requiring another click. I would like the data captured in the Infopath form written to SQL Server. None of this should require the Infopath client - think client only.

  I have a workflow that consumes an Xml document and breaks it up into smaller pieces in a complex Activity, using various rules etc. The result of the activity above may be several xml documents that need to go through the same process, i.e. invoke the same workflow. If there were none then the workflow would complete. The initial workflow, and any subsequent workflows, must wait until their "child" workflows have completed. ( ...Show All
