• pavel989 RollBackTask

  Hi I am currently creating custom workflows for sharepoint using VS 2005 extensions for windows workflow foundation. I see there is a RollBackTask which indicates that one can roll back on a task that was previously done. Im looking for some documentation how this task should be used and what it is meant to do. I have searched around and have not been able to find any documentation on this. Any help would be appreciated.

• Renan Souza Which protocol?

  I'm writing a solution for communication with a (.net) server. Now I'm thinking about a protocol I should use(Remoting, WebService, Sockets, ...). There are some things to consider: There may be many clients connecting to the server with that app (100000 ) I want this app doesn't have any problems with routers (firewall, NAT) Later, there will be a C++ client (not managed) I'm tending to webservices because of (2,3) but don't know if there will be performance issues... What would you do Konstantin No, I don't support proxies at all. I chose bi-directional communication (sockets, TCP) from HTTP (no proxy issues) because my app needs it. Is a very crucial decision. With HTTP the only way to have a fake bi-d ...Show All

• paradoxium Workflow created in SharePoint Designer doesn't work ...

  Hi, I created a custom workflow using SharePoint designer. It is okay when the system admin (the one who created the workflow in sharepoint designer) submits an InfoPath form to the library and then the workflow has been started. However, when a normal user (even with Full Control Permission) submits the InfoPath form to the library and the workflow cannot be started. Any additional security setup has to be configured when workflow is created in SharePoint Designer Thanks so much. Paul Can you be more specific to where you changed these settings I've just loaded sharepoint 2007 recently therefore I'm still learning. I've been messing with this workflow thing all day. As an admin it would work but then I added test us ...Show All

• IamHuM What do you think about Microsoft Visio? is that enough for your needs?

  I just wanted to create this post because I have been using visio for almost 2 years and now the boss say that its definetely not the tool to model all the things we need. After trying for sometime Sparx Enterprise Architect, its years ago from Microsoft Visio, I have always defended MIcrosoft tools but this time I just cant. Visio 2005 is 99% the same than visio 2003 for EA. Sparx EA generetes so cool RTF and HTML documentation and its very needed on a project. It has something called traceability matrix which Visio doesnt have, maybe Microsoft has a lot to learn from the aspect of modeling tools. A very cool thing Sparx did, is to integrate the viewer with Visual Studio its cool but what I would like to see in the future is to crea ...Show All
