• DiasVFX Some basic questions on wwf

  Hi friends, I came across a good article that says, we can host the designer and allow the non-developer types (a.k.a. business people) to design and edit workflows. Can we host the designer in a web application That is i create my set of custom activities and create a web page that shows the designer with my custom activities and the standard one and any non-developer type person can use it to design and edit workflows Is there some demo example of this, so that i can get a better picture of it. One more question :: "Activities can be viewed as instructions to the workflow engine." Are they part of the workflow engine or can we have a set of activity dlls that can be fed to a workflow engine Thanks a Lot Sonali ...Show All

• Bhasker UAC Shield in menus?

  Thankfully there's an easy way to add the UAC shield to buttons by using BCM_SETSHIELD. I wonder though - is there a similar option for menus somewhere The docs say that context menus are supported via DefCM but I'm really looking to add the shield icon to a generic popup menu. Can I do this without ownerdrawing it -Marton '98 or 2000 is not really the issue here. You still need to ownerdraw your bitmaps if you want the icons to look good. Contrary to what's been suggested here, transparency does not really work. (Try saving a bitmap with alpha channel and the LoadBitmap-ing it, then setting it as the hbmpItem.) Unless I am missing something and you need to use some extra-special bitmap format here. ...Show All

• dampbarn RC2 hangs with Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid Controller

  My company is testing Windows Vista RC2 and we have Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA Raid Controllers in our computers. The Windows Vista Upgrade advisor states that 'No Action is required' for my Raid Controller. I have tried the following and in both instances they hang the computers : (1) Install Vista RC2, Loading Raid Drivers before install. Vista Setup hangs at loading screen. (2) Install Vista RC2, then in device manager, select Raid Controller and point to location of drivers. Raid Controller installs, then system hangs. Restarting Vista it hangs at loading screen.

• Madok Confused, what is the relation between MSDTC timeout and System.Transaction Option?

  What I seem to be seeing is that when I create a System.Transaction with: transactionOptions.Timeout = new TimeSpan (0) but keep the COM+ Explorer MSDTC timeout at 60sec it timesout at 60secs. I don't have have Enterprise Services attribs on my code. What's happening or am I just going mad! The plot thickens. I've now spotted that the timeout occurs after 10 mins! Regardless of the number in the DTC timeout or the .net code. Where does 10 mins come from [Edit] One possible source is the SQL (2000) remote query timeout that's set to 600s. However, I've tried setting that to 0 (no timeout) and I still get the same 10 min rollback. I'm really puzzled by this since I've had a number of very long running Txs in the pa ...Show All

• Eragon. Customized IfElse activity in a Custom Workflow Designer

  Hi everybody. I host a workflow designer in my application and need to provide users with an IfElse activity that works as simple as possible "Declarative Rule Condition" mode still requires users to reference certain values and compare them with others, and this considered as writing code. I, instead, would like to just have a property like RunThisBranchWhen <value>, so the users could just set the <value> and it would be automatically compared with a value coming from the previous activity. My question is: Can the standard IfElse activity be redesigned to work this way or I have to write my own IfElse from scratch Any details/examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ...Show All

  Could you please advice what are possible/best ways to add the Workflow InstanceID as SOAP Header to outgoing SOAP Messages (I am using WCF for Web Services Invocation) Basically I need to be able to easily correlate an incoming SOAP message with a particular WF instance. A monitoring component will be watching incoming messages and it might need to do some dynamic update to the destination WF instance. Any advice how best to achieve this is appreciate Thanks Karim I was looking through old unanswered posts and apologize no one responded to you earlier.

• Yelnik Problem with mediaelement and formato not wm

• anubisascends Windows installer error code 2869

  Hi I have a setup project and associated custom actions for the after install event. If i run the setup package on Vista without the custom actions then it installs fine, if i then add a custom actions file to call CeAppMgr, this part works fine but the installer reports the above error message afterwards.

Does anyone have any ideas Regards Steve I have managed to solve the problem, originally i was shipping just the MSI file to install, i tried installing with the correct setup file and it works fine, this may be related to ...Show All

• AlexBB Context in workflow?

  I was curious to know if there a way of sharing a "context" between all activities in a workflow instance. I am looking at something analogous to HttpContext in ASP.NET and LogicalCallContext in Remoting. Of course, I can resort to ThreadLocalStorage or AppDomain data myself, but I wondering whether there is a better way of handling this. Thanks, Manoj Mikael, What is your email address John P. Mikael, I am not sure how this code would solve my problem. My goal is to pass an activity property value to the ASP.NET client.
