• Evan Haklar Custom Service loading from a different client request

  When I receive a web service request to the existing workflow instance, it can't find the service that I created earlier. I wonder if I need to add my service to the web config file that when the request came, it can load and execute that service. Any ideas Correct, in case of web service, the workflow services should be specified in web.config. When the workflow runtime is running worklfow services cannot be added or removed. ...Show All

• Hooper Sample code needed to understand the UIA

  Hi, I am planning to use the UIA in our environment. Can anybody post a sample code to automate a simple GUI application (notepad) Basically i am looking for how to invoke the notepad application and enumerate the menu items in it using the UIA TIA, ~JK Executing an application programmatically is not part of UIA. Once you have Notepad running, you can certainly use UI Automation to enumerate menu items. There is a great deal of sample code in the SDK that should help you learn the basics of finding UI elements and their properties.

• MarkDu Tracking Schema reusability in Oracle

  Hi, I am working on a banking application and I am using Workflow Foundation for the development of a workflow subsystem. Our application is architected to work with any back end like SQL Server, Oracle etc. I used the tracking services and the supporting schema (tables and sp's) while developing on SQL Server. I was wondering whether the same tables and stored procedures can be ported into Oracle or not. If not, what is the way around. Do I write the schema myself. That would be a daunting task really. I am anticipated that the tables wont be a problem. Its the stored procedures that I am worried about. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tom, It was extremely helpful. ...Show All

• Rob MacFadyen DwmSetWindowAttribute and DWMWA_ALLOW_NCPAINT question

  I'm trying to draw on the NC area and it seems to have absolutely no effect. I found DWMWA_ALLOW_NCPAINT and hoped that this would allow NC Painting with GetWindowDC or GetDCEx. However, simply setting this property seems to disable the glass frame rendering - I end up with a solid white area instead (although the drop shadow and "glow" of the min/max buttons remains functional). Anyone know if I'm missing a vital step here I have found some issues with GetDCEx in vista for NC painting, and have basically switched over to using GetWindowDC based on os version . However, I still can not figure out how to get DWMWA_ALLOW_NCPAINT to work at all - while it does "allow nc painting&q ...Show All

• Bapa Calling GetWorkflow multiple times for same instance

  I'm new to WF and still in the experimentation phase. In any case, I came to scenario that seems a bit confusing and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the matter. I have a very simple sequential workflow that has only one code activity which writes to the console, sleeps 10 seconds, and writes to the console again. To run this, I've created a Windows application with two buttons and their click events are as follows: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { WorkflowRuntime wfr = new WorkflowRuntime(); SqlWorkflowPersistenceService persist; persist = new SqlWorkflowPersistenceService(...); wfr.AddService(persist); wfr.StartRuntime(); WorkflowInstance wfi = wfr.CreateWorkflow(typeof(MyWorkflow ...Show All

• PublicError EAPHost framework, EapPeerGetIdentity question/problem

  Hello, I'm in the process of implementing a custom EAP method for use with the EapHost framework that was introduced in Vista. I've read the available documentation and SDK Samples pretty extensively but am having a problem I can't seem to get past. I've observed a problem with regard to the identity I return from EapPeerGetIdentity within my custom Eap method DLL. It appears that no matter what I provide as the return pointer in the 'ppwszIdentity' variable, this seems to be ignored. Inside this function, I'm initializing my output values just as the example EapPeer method in the SDK is doing. Output values are basically set like so: .... *pfInvokeUI = FALSE; *ppwszIdentity = userIdentity; *pdwSizeOfUserDataOu ...Show All

  Hi all, Is it possible to have a persisted workflow instance resume on a newer version of the workflow webservice I've got a StateMachine workflow published as a web service and it works fine, but if you make any changes to the workflow and publish the webservice, it cant resume the workflow (IndexOutOfRange Exception).

• Brandon Patram Physical Screen Orientation

  Hi everyone. I was hoping you would be able to help me with a problem. I bought a Toshiba Tablet PC a few weeks ago (loving it) and included with it are little programs made by Toshiba that help with things such as hardware specific features (ie. the Fn key which lets me change brightness or volume with a key combination, etc.). This was quite handy but there is a couple of problems. First, these little programs are only installed when I use my Toshiba OEM Windows XP Installation CD. And now that I've sworn off XP and moved to Vista, these programs are no longer available. And secondly, I don't know about you guys but I find the evasiveness and user experiences of these little applets annoying. They have their own notification icons whi ...Show All
