• Matt17 WF Virgin

  Dear One & All, As my subject says, I'm a WF Virgin. Having read many an article on the principles of WF, I'm keen to start developing with it.

• _Werner one workflow persisted and doing work in two hosts

  Hi, Anybody has sample where workflow host has created instance of one workflow, then persisted it.

• siva_Baskar Custom Activities at runtime-debugging

  Hi, I have added designers to my custom activities. Nothing special, just colors and the like, and it works fine at design-time. But when it comes to runtime-debugging, like hitting a breakpoint in the designer view, the Live.Workflow.tmp*.xoml is missing all my custom activities completely. Error on my side or on the designer/runtime-viewer The designers are quite simple generics like: public class ScanActivityDesigner : Activity ...Show All

• Scheinka reference clock misbehaving

  Dear fellow developers, I have a filter designed that relies on the reference clock supplied by the Default DirectSound Renderer, and have had great difficulties with it working to discover the reason is that the reference time does not seem to be behaving according to the MS documentation.

  When you open the completed sample for Exercise 2 of WWF Lab 4 (the State Transitition workflow sample) for the first time, the layout for the 4 activities is lost.  By this I mean all of the 4 acitivities appear one on top of the other in the top-left corner of the design surface.

• sm8680 What if you don't know what interfaces will be needed on local service?

We have a set of defined activities that they can put into their states which interface to our code library / business logic. However it seems like there always needs to be a carefully defined local service to link the workflow with the triggering UI/whatever. We won't know what interfaces will be needed as they will be end-user defined. The only ideas we ha ...Show All
