• Aris Jake TimeoutActivity

  I want to write a TimoutActivity, that behaves and looks the same as the SequenceActivty, but has in addition a TimeoutProperty, which allows me to define a TimeSpan after which the activity is closed. So my TimeoutActivity gets closed when the child activities of the sequence have finished their work OR when the TimoutPeriod has elapsed. The first idea was this: My TimeoutActivity has to be sort of a discriminator activty that is similar to ...Show All

• Caspelling Retrieving current state

  I am running an ASP.NET site using WWF, I've chosen to implement a StateMachineWorkflow. In several samples I've seen, navigation between pages is done by Repsonse.Redirect(). In stead of using this mechanism (which seems to me hard to maintain), I would like to ask my current workflow its current state and then navigate to the corresponding page. How can I get a reference to the instance of the workflow I started an is currently running I tr ...Show All

• Malika Senaratna Bug? Removing UI type editors on parameters

  It seems that if you select a UI type editor on a property of a custom activity, there's no way to remove it later on. If you go into the Property definition window, and just clear the UI Type Editor field and save the changes, the type editor is not removed from code (though if you change it to another type it works). The only way to remove it seems to go into the code and manually remove the appropriate attribute out of the property definitio ...Show All

• DrTrueline Multiple workflow/more complex examples.

  Hi, I gone through the labs, examples etc for WWF and whilst they all demonstrate different aspects of WWF, they are all rather simplistic, implementing only a single workflow. What happens where there is more than one For example, in ASP.NET there can only be one instance of the workflow engine per app domain.
