• suman_chowdary GoTo Activity

  Hi Is there a custom activity which implements the functionality of GO TO thanks Bobs I think I have come up with two possible solutions but now need to weigh up what benefits I would get from using WF with the added complexity against extending our current solution. Option 1: Rather than try to model the whole business process in a single flow I could break it into many workflows where each workflow only provides the logic between the real process activities, i.e after completing logical activity 1 model the flow to all possible activites that could occur next and have a WF activity that schedules each of those activities. Likewise then there is a workflow for each of those activities w ...Show All

• Kyle Leitch Using the WF rules engine editor

  Hello there, I am working on a project where I am using the WF rules engine frequently. I have a set of rules that need to be implemented into the WF rules engine. But when I was implementing the rules into the rules editor (the dialog that came along with the WF) I found a problem. I need to write a rule like.. if ( ifCondition ) DoSomeWorks(); else if (elseIfCondition) DoSomeOtherWorks(); else DoDefaultWorks(); But I am facing trouble inserting this rule. the dialog does not allow me to insert the else if part. If I break down the else if part to another if-else group then the it will be too complicated when I have a long if-else if-else if- else if -....else chain. one more thing I found that the rule ...Show All

• Rothariger Token through to Page.User

  I am building my own demo site based on the JulyCTP samples of "intro to CardSpace with IE7" and "decrypting a security token". Things are going well. I was wondering about the best way to get the Token attached to the Page.User so I can utilize the authentication and authorization tools of the rest of the framework. I see there is a call to EndpointIdentity.CreateIdentity in the TokenHelper class. Is there someway to get that into an IPrincipal How would that be done so it automatically assigned the IPrincipal for all Page.User's of all the web pages Thanks! Noremac You can get to the token in the pipeline. Try to use Context.Handler (which is of type Page when you post b ...Show All

• MoP73 Cardspace doesn't work behind authenticating proxy

  Hi folks. I'm currently investigating Cardspace at work, where we live behind nice cosy authenticating proxy servers. Trying to hit the test STS at xmldap.org, I get 407 proxy authentication errors. Needless to say, this is a bit of a showstopper for me. Is there anything I can do to work around this (without having to change the proxy servers - our potential customers won't be able to do that...) I've tried adding a defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" xml element to infocard.exe.config, but it makes no difference. Anyone got any ideas Cheers Matt I've spent much time to solve similar issue with my corporate proxy that requires authentication, but failed. I found that du ...Show All

• John230873 VMR9Allocator in fullscreen

  Hello, It seems that the same kind of question has already been asked, but there is no answer yet. I am using the Directshow sample VMR9Allocator, and I need to display my application in fullscreen. First I simply tried to maximize the main window size in popup mode; it works but I still have the common tearing of the windowed mode. So I would like to implement the vmr9 renderless fullscreen mode, but I don't know how to proceed, I can't find any information about that. VMR9Allocator is already in renderless mode. Now when creating my device, I changed my D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS and put Windowed at false ; however in this case it seems that vmr9 reads my video but nothing is diplayed on the screen. I don't know what I am missing. Could some ...Show All

• Rob Hershfield Journaling hooks on Vista?

  Along with a lot of other people, I've noticed that attempts to set the journalling hooks ( WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK, WH_JOURNALRECORD) get knocked back with access denied on CTP 5270. Is this down to the new Vista security policies Step 1. does work! ...and now Visual Test Automation is running. Hooray! A 1000 Thanks MJTNET. whew!!!!! Getting there! Step 1 above does work, but requires a reboot after. Run secpol.msc - Local Policies/Security Options and modify User Account Control to disable running as standard users (so if you are logged in as admin apps will now always run as admin). Reboot. The journal hook now works! This is clearly not an ideal solution, of course, as ...Show All

• vtortola Where is the >detailed< Vista Software Logo Spec documentation?!

  I've been looking for months to find more information about the Windows Vista Software Logo program, and have basically come up with nothing... Is anyone else having this issue There seems to be only one document available called: "Windows Vista Software Logo Spec 1.0.doc". However, this document can barely be called an outline of what really should be available. If you look at the DFW XP and DFW XP x64 counterpart program on the http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo site, you will find an overwhelming amount of information including test framework docs and in-depth technical requirements docs for engineers, totaling well over 400 pages of highly detailed information. But for Vista we only get 24 pages ! So much has changed between X ...Show All

• sudhakarbhattu custom EventDrivenActivity? custom Replicator?

  Is it possible to create a custom EventDrivenActivity The goal is to have a StateMachineWorkflow where a user can directly drop this custom activity into the state, set the event to wait for and the resulting next state. This would ease the state machine development for him by far as he does not have to create the event driven activity, the event handler inside, the set state event and get out of the state designer again. Is it possible somehow As one cannot inherit from the EventDrivenActivity is it possible to replicate it's behavior by implementing the right interfaces or something like that Is it possible to create a custom Replicator like this I want to take away the burden to initialize the replicator elements from the g ...Show All

• Mystagogue Windows Platform SDK SP1

  Hi, I had installed the Windows Platform SDK SP1 on Windows Vista Beta2. The installation completed successfully, but failed to install the x86 compilers. When installed on Windows XP, it installs c:\program files\microsoft platform\sdk\bin\cl.exe ; but when installed on Vista, no such file is created. Is there something I'm missing in here Thanks in advance for all the replies. Thanks and Regards, Ravindra Rajaram. Hi Ravindra: Rather than attempt to solve that issue for you, I would suggest that you use the Windows SDK Beta 2 SDK for a number of reasons. It has all the content that your SP1 SDK has, but it has some significant improvements. The compilers that were in the SP1 SDK are an earlier vers ...Show All

• Lunatic_Magnet Access Denied when using a Domain Administrator Account

  Hi Everybody!!! I got a real question mark here: I created a Windows Service (Using VB.NET that automates some COM API). When it launches using "LocalSystem" account, everything works fine... except that I cannot print using network printers. However, if I set this service to be launched under a Local Administrator account, which is also a Domain Administrator account, I get an error saying that access was denied when creating this COM objects. I already verify that this particular user: * has full access to all the files and directories involved (including the ones in the Windows folder, program files folder, and root directory) * has full access to the Registry keys * has launch access in the COM+ cabinet ...Show All

• Uwe Lesta Serialization of activities and versioning

  Hello, We tried custom serialization to give us some tools for versioning of custom activities (and workflows, of course). However, we found out that the ISerializable.GetObjectData gets never called during serialization. If we add a new serialized field to the activity class, deserialization blows up with IndexOutOfRangeException in a private class ActivitySerializedRef . So, we found out that the Activity base class uses a serialization surrogate selector with the binary formatter. The surrogate selector for Activity does not care about the ISerializable implementation and its internal implementation does not seem to be able to handle differences between serialized data and activity type. So, how to create a real-world WF serialization ...Show All

• Qaayam Problem starting a workflow compiled from an application that re-hosted the WF designer.

  Hi, I’m developing an application that host the workflow designer. I’m trying to load (from a .xoml file – with its codebeside file, rules file, layout file) and compile (to dll) a workflow with the hosted designer. This operation seems to complete successfully. After that I would like to load the compiled workflow (the dll) and execute it in the workflow runtime, but when I start an instance of the workflow and I try to get the possible state transitions I get the terminated event on the WF instance. In the inner exception I found the following message ( Could not load file or assembly 'CustomWorkflow28c81c69-b15e-4119-9fcc-08630911885e, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.
