• Matthew Sorvaag Hands-on Lab 04 Exercise 2 (using StateMachineTrackingService) doesn't work on beta 2.2

  I am running WF beta 2.2 and working through the labs. Ran into a problem that I can't resolve in Lab 04 (which covers State Machine workflows). I added in all the code to make it use the StateMachineTrackingService. Firstly it would not build because it couldn't find the member variables defined in the Workflow.cs file of the OrderWorkflows project. I got around this, not sure if this is a proper solution, by changing two members to be public, ...Show All

• GenxBear Host Workflow in Windows Service

  Is it possible to host workflow in windowsService if possible how In addition to Thomas' comments, the biggest concern will be how you connect/communicate with the workflows, unless they are going to be started and used solely within the service.

• Dror InvokeWebService vs InvokeWorkflow

  I would like to know what the overhead is when calling a workflow nativly from a another workflow compared to call it as an exposed web service. This would be valuable information when modelling workflows. This is same issue as Remoting and WebServices. If you are creating a distributed application InvokeWebServices is the right activity.

• Grand Edgemaster WWF in web applications

  I'm working at a company developing a content management system in .Net. We've planned to include some sort of workflow solution in the next version, but we're unsure if we should integrate it with WWF or write our own (simple) workflow engine. WWF looks very impressive, but we're unsure if WWF is a good fit for us because: - It demands that the server has WWF installed, which may be a problem with the low-end market as webhosts are a bit ...Show All
