• Software Development for Windows Vista PersistOnCloseAttribute seems to unload the workflow (Beta 2)

  Hello, what I'm trying to do is to create a custom activity telling a (sequential) workflow to save its state so it will be able to restore later its work at the point (e.g. when the user wants to continue later in another session). In other words I'm creating the activity class PersistencePoint having a class attribute PersistOnClose and doing nothing in its OnExecute (I'm not even overloading it).

  I have been playing with ADO.Net and at first, I created a CLI console application, where I did different things, such as querying the schema collections of a database.
