• Iago Error 0x80040154: Class Not Registered

  Okay, one last hurdle and I am all clear. I have everything mostly working, the class registers properly (finally), I can call CoCreateInstance and use it in a non-elevated manner (the secure calls return an error of Access Denied like they should), and if I use the CoCreateInstanceAsAdmin function, it pops up the UAC dialog to allow or deny the class. The problem is right after that, if I select Allow, then CoCreateInstanceAsAdmin returns an error code of 0x80040154, which means that the class is not registered. I know the class is (mostly) registered, as it instantiates properly during a call to CoCreateInstance itself, just not as admin. I assume I am missing some little step, but I dunno what. Here's the rundown of what I'm doing. F ...Show All

• rmxdave Rules Engine: Identifying fired rule at runtime

  Hello, I am evaluating a rule set within a policyActivity. In the ThenAction of a rule I call a method of the workflow class. This method is called within many of the rules. I want to identify the current rule when my method is called. So the question is : 1) Can I get a reference to the current rule (or at least the rule's name), when the rule is fired and I am within the ThenAction of this rule. 2) If this is not possible: Can I get the name of the last fired rule after executing the policyActivity without using tracking. Thank you in advance, Iris Stern. Iris - you could do this using a CustomRuleAction - see this sample http://wf.netfx3.com/blogs/all_wf_content/archive/2 ...Show All

• Jimmy Jam What Windows Workflow Foundation can do?

  Hi all, We are currently in the phase of comparing different WFMS's like JBPM, K2.Net, Ultimus etc. Came to know about microsoft own WWF, and we are really interested in this. Just downloaded the beta pluggin for VS 2005 and the labs, now I'll try them out. I have three questions: 1. We can orchestrate ASP.net web pages using WWF alright, but can we orchestrate webpages developed in any Non-.Net language using WWF like JSP 2. Does WWF support importing of Business process from MS -Visio , if yes then how 3. It is said that we should not go for WWF in the case of EAI or integration scenario, but from WWF we can call web services and can reach outside systems from that, In a scenario where all the systems which need to be ...Show All

• Nonu_k Tracking - Tracing / more details

  I have been trying to fix this for a few days now and it's getting a little frustrating to say the least. I am trying to Track a property on a an activity, it's a custom type, but I can serialize it just fine manually, however, the tracking data that I get in the database simply has the Type Name of the object and not the blobbed serialized data. I have turned on all the tracing swicthes, set to "All", but i am not seeing any errors when the tracking event occurs. I am using SqlTracking and have both UserTracking and ActivityDataExtracts in my profile, both produce the same result. Anyone got any more ideas on how I can debug this further Thanks, Dave Just as a note to anyone else having this type of proble ...Show All

• EmekaAwagu STS Sample - using a managed card

  Hi, I have tried the STS example with FabrikamSelfIssued managed card, works fine. I can get all requested claims in the sample web site, but one thing is actually misleading me. I see all the claims empty in the CardSpace Selector (even if I explicitly click Retrieve), but when I send the card, the web site is able to request all claims. Is it a bug (selector's or STS') or was it designed this way I think, that the user *MUST* be able to see and verify all the data before it is sent to the web service. Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. The user is able to see all the data that the STS puts into the 'display token' (my current STS sample doesn't have one, but I've got updates coming to show t ...Show All

• fscarpa58 Update ?

  Hi! Windows SDK is now like 1GB so if there is any update in documentation or something new version... I need to donwload 1GB again to update a few MB's even if it's 100MBs it's still a lot of overweight. So can you do some update feature Jarod The best thing to do is to run the web setup and just choose the components you want. In that way you will be getting the doc updates that you need. To be clear, we're not doing iterative updates for docs for the offline product. The docs team publishes revised docs through MSDN. So if you are looking just for the latest and greatest docs, look in the MSDN Library. Sure, you can launch the web setup from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ...Show All

I don't know how can I do that, because when I modifify rules in "name.rules" anything occurs ( using application like notepad). Someone can help me, please One way you can accomplish this is through a custom workflow loader service as I show here - http://www.masteringbiztalk.com/blogs/jon/PermaLink,guid,ffd20921-fb8b-42a2-98d1-8c8e1582a3fa.aspx .
