• Daniel Molina - MSFT Any plan to support C++ or Managed CLI/C++ for the activity coding ?

  Any plan to support C++ or Managed CLI/C++ for the activity coding Thanks. It is possible to do this now as the workflow runtime supports all CLS languages.  However there are no plans for designer support of C++.  This just means that you have to write your C+ activities in code without drag-drop composition support.  Go for it. ...Show All

• Leon Bouquiet Questions about state machine workflow and parameters

  Hi there. I have some questions about how to deal with parameters in a State Machine workflow. Parameters as far I know should be passed in the form of Event Arguments in a State Machine, that’s right The example is "inspirated" in the Expense Report sample application, except the workflow type (mostly because the WCF communication)... In the case Event Arguments are OK to pass parameters, I have this EventArgs class: [Seria ...Show All

• a-edwill WinFS Application Design Question

  Hi folks, I've downloaded the beta 1 refresh of WinFS and am working my way through the help file and samples, trying to come to grips with it. So far I'm really impressed with the concept. I have a question, though, about the design of a hypothetical application that makes use of WinFS. Let's say, for example, that I was trying to make an application to track your DVD collection. I imagine I'd create WinFS custom types for things like ...Show All

• aeoshi ASP.NET And a State Machine Workflow

  I recently read the MSDN magazine article, Windows Workflow Foundation, Part 2 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/04/CuttingEdge/), where Dino Esposito demonstrates how to work with workflows in ASP.NET. Dinos' demonstration provides a helpful solution to working with Sequential workflows; however, it left me a little confused with how to work with a State Machine workflow. In the article, Dino demonstrates how to pass parame ...Show All

• Tobias Zimmergren LCS related query

  Hi, The following is my understanding about the intercommunication between the host and the workflow runtime in WWF Beta 1.2. ------ In order to enable communication across the workflow runtime and its host, LCS supports activities such as InvokeMethod and EventSink. InvokeMethod is basically to execute a method which is defined in the host part of code. EventSink in workflow runtime is to capture any of the events that would get fired ...Show All
