• KRF1111 Test Case 32 and the WER mysterious behavior

  Test case 32 says : " This means that the application AV failure properly allowed Windows Error Reporting to report this crash" Create a new application with UI (Win32, C#, ..., whatever you want) without catching any exception, and inject the AccessViolation Failure. On Vista, the WER messagebox is always: "xxx has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". With only ONE button "Close program". Definitively, this dialog box does not send any report to WER server. With some other applications, behavior of WER is now totally different. I get the following messagebox: Do you want to send more informati ...Show All

• Stankerific 3d

  is there a simple xaml sample of getting started in 3d, I do not want to use any 3d software to output the 3d. A simple box shape and camera viewport would do for starters. Any urls or demos, just cant find any googling it. Richard 3D is supported in WPF, but not in WPF/E (or whatever its gonna be called by the final release). -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" You probably want to head over to the WPF forums, since 3D isn't supported by the current version of WPF/E. However, I found this blog post to be a good intro to 3D in WPF: http://blogs.msdn.com/danlehen/archive/2005/11/06/489627.aspx ...Show All

• Jegant Designer Rehosting - State machine workflow

  Hi, I am hosting designer in my applicaiton, but when it loads state machine workflow, it re-arranges all states on its own. It looks ugly as some time it shows last state first and first state somewhere in middle. Its hard to find flow. I want to keep the state diagram displayed as is when it was designed in design mode.

• Scott_t Can arbitrary bytes be passed as the ImageSource of the ImageBrush?

  I'd like to download an image from a server using XML / AJAX. Is there any way I can load these bytes of the image into an array and pass that to the ImageSource of the ImageBrush Thanks. No, at this time there ins't a way to take bytes and set them to be the image source for an Image. I'd suggest using the web server to do the combining and then make the image available. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" Good question. I also want to know how to do it... Perhaps in DHTML, it is very easy to done with the new Image(); But I don't know how to do it in WPF/E,too... ...Show All

• darthziv Get ExecutionContext from within a HandleExternalEventActivity Handler!

  Hello guys, My question is this... Lets suppose i have a nice HandleExternalEventActivity listening to an Event of a service that implements ExternalDataExchange, all the necessary things implemented. There is nothing wrong here... the workflow blocks when it reachs this activity, goes idle, then when the event fires the HandleExternalEventActivity handler receives the arguments passed by the publisher, etc... What i want to ask is this... If i want to retrieve a service that its added to the WorkflowRuntime by the host application from within the HandleExternalEventActivity handler how do i do this I tried to find a way but the only two ways that i know to get a service from inside an activity is by the ActivityExecutionCont ...Show All

• cssjm Composing "Meta" Workflows using both standalone WF and SharePoint 2007

  I am interested in leveraging the WF capability of SharePoint but the requirements of the project I am working on are such that the notion of a workflow spans beyond a particular item or list. I have read through this post, http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=719102&SiteID=1 , which touches on this subject, but have not seen anything definitive. What is the recommended approach for building an overarching workflow that, say, tracks some product manufacture, and, at various activity stages, leverages workflows, custom or otherwise, associated with SharePoint lists The two main things I think I need to know right now are: Can the overarching "meta" workflow be hosted in SharePoint rather than ou ...Show All

• Kevin Southern FaultHandler causes workflow members to be lost!

  Hi, I'm running a state machine workflow with some code within a TransactionScope and a FaultHandler in the EventDriven activity that contains it. I'm intentially throwing an exception within the TransactionScope code, and within the FaultHandler's Code activity I want to do some conditional processing depending on what the exception was. I have a private member object within the workflow class which holds all the information relevant to the incoming event, which I need to be able to query within the FaultHandler to be able to do anything useful. The problem is, as soon as the Faulthandler's code begins to execute, the member object is set to null. I must be missing something here, but I can't for the life of me work out why, and ...Show All

• jxl98c How to pass a GUID to a WebServiceInput activity ?

  Hello. I have a trouble which is similar to the thread you sent. I am trying to build a sequensial wokflow which contains a webserviceInput activity not as a starting activity in the workflow of the workflow, I use persistence in web.config and the persistence works fine. The problem is this: supposing I start the workflow from a window form. I get to the webserviceInput activity and the workflow is being stored into persistence as it should do. Then, I want to continue the workflow instance by calling the webserviceInput activity, but I do not know how to send the GUID to the webserviceInput so it will know which instance to open. I saw that when calling via HandleExternalEvent activity, I can send the GUID but when I am ca ...Show All

• tgbt Significance of Unlock flag in 'WorkflowPersistenceService' ??

  Hi, I'm currently analysing the use of 'unlock' flag provided in the 'WorkflowPersistenceService' class.As I would like to write a 'Custom' Persistence service. protected override void SaveWorkflowInstanceState(System.Workflow.ComponentModel. Activity rootActivity, bool unlock ) Observations: 1)I always see that unlock is set to true whenever the above method is called to persist an instance. 2)Also the SQL stored proc's provided in the labs handle two cases for 'Unlocked' =0 &'Unlocked'=1...Why is it so 3)As far as my understanding goes this flag means that an instance is being unloaded from the memory and is hence unlocked,so the flag is always set as 'true'....with this assumption why are the procedu ...Show All
