If I create a WF console app, delete the original "Workflow1.cs" file, and add a "Sequential workflow (with code separation)" item, then I get 2 files in the solution explorer: "workflow1.xoml" and "workflow1.xoml.cs".

  Hi everyone. I'm trying to use a Flat File Connector to read in a fixed field width file that contains some date columns.

  1) When I format my date fields, its always MM/DD/YYYY format.

Any ways around this 3) Is it possible to save that the repor ...Show All
