• theExplorer WPF/E Deployment on XP, Vista

  Suppose the WPF/E is ready, how is Microsoft planning on shipping it to customers Is it going to be pushed automatically via AutoUpdate, or are we -- as page owners and developers -- will have to provide a link to the WPF/E plugin/runtime download and pray people actually go there My concern is that the vast majority of visitors would probably avoid going anywhere to download anything unless they see a clear value in doing so, and how can they see it, if we really can't show them much without the WPF/E Moreover, Adobe Flash is already doing a substantial amount of what WPF/E is going to be capable of, so how do I persuade a page owner to use WPF/E instead of Flash when the latter a) ships with every browser on every OS platform, b) d ...Show All

• Xi0N Workflow transaction question

  I have a database containing orders, and I'd like to use Workflows to track the in-process orders. When a new order is added, I need to create the related Workflow in the same SqlTransaction. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks - Mike V1 of Windows Workflow Foundation does not support flowing transactions with the exception of WorkflowInstance.Unload, see Joel's post here for more information. However, you put all your logic into a transaction scope activity and participat in its transaction for your sql work. ...Show All

• H_Innocent Development with Visual Studio Express

  Hi all, I'm little confused about the development Windows Workflow Foundation application using Visual Studio Express editions. I found some links on internet but it's not cleart to me. Is it possible or not Thanks in advance, best regards. Fernando Possebon Hi Fernando, Although I cannot be sure (I run Professional at work), I can see no reason at all that Workflow Foundation could not be used from C# Express or Web Developer (Web Developer can make class libraries, yeah ). After all, Express can be used to create XNA games... so why not WF Cheers, Richard Unfortunately VS Express is not supported: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ...Show All

• madenci Double playbackrate with IReferencClock?

  HI, I have spend a lot time on this Problem but I am not able to solve it :( ...So you are my last hope. I have modified the Texture3d9 Sample from the PlatformSDK which renders a VideoFrame to a D3D9Texture. The Video now plays fine in my D3D enviroment. I can also double the playrate with SetRate(2.d), this also works quite fine if the PC is fast enough. OK now my Problem: I want to change the Video-Playbackrate on-the-fly (Audio is not rendered). In several forums all developers say "just use IReferenceClock" . But that is my Problem, i dont understand how IReferencClock works. This is what i have coded untill now: IReferenceClock* pRefClock; hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SystemClock,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IReferenceClock,(void**)& ...Show All

• Mateusz Rajca Throwing SoapException between WS_Receive and WS_Response

  I have a state machine workflow that has a WebServiceInput and a WebServiceOutput. According to the documents, any unhandle exceptions thrown between a WS_In and a WS_Out will return a SoapFault. A soap fault is being returned to the consumer of the web service. However, in one of my activities I am explicitly creating a SoapException and building the Detail property of the SoapException. After the SoapException is created, I throw it, and dont handle it. When the soap fault is returned to the caller of the web method, the xml contents of the detail section of the SoapException are gone. If I throw a SoapException from some code in a normal web service and use the soap toolkit to see the contents of the soap fault, the <Detail> ...Show All

• Andrew Mackie WPFE on Office Live

  Has WPF/E been tested on Office Live I have added the HTML to a page and IE 7 hangs when I navigate to it: http://charettelabs.com/wpfe.aspx Michael It locks up my IE6 machine as well, only after showing a script error of some sort. I downloaded the code and I will try to run it locally. My guess is that running inside an IFRAME with a deferred script might be messing it up. My guess is that this is an Office Live'ism, but I am not sure. If I find anything interestign in the script i'll let you know here. Looks like you are searching for an element named "textspan" in the jscript that I cannot find. I think the issue is with the HTML surrounding the WPFE, not the WPFE. I got the xaml to display, but it didn' ...Show All

• stswordman Transaction not committing?

  I've missed something somewhere. :) If I drop a Code activity into a TransactionScopeActivity, and then if I call a SQL Server stored procedure that updates a row in a table in the database, merely closing the connection in the TransactionScopeActivity should commit the data (assuming no other error). But it's not, at least in my case. I've set the IsolationLevel to all manner of things: Serializable, ReadCommitted, ReadUncommitted...nothing seems to commit the data. The stored procedure checks that it's in a transaction and errors if not, so I know it's within a transaction. It returns the modified column value as an out parameter, and the value is good. But the row/column never get committed in the database. I'm totally convinced I ...Show All

• Subhas Custom Activities with Local Services

  Hi all, I have a dilemma and want your opinions about it: I am building a service oriented application with a few services exposed via WCF services. For example, I have Orders Services and Customers Service.   For each service operation I want to create a custom activity, and than create a workflow that uses them to build a business process.   I am considering 2 approaches for implementing those custom activities: 1. In the Execute method of the activity, to create a new instance of the service proxy and call the service. 2. To add a runtime service that implements the interface of the WCF service, and in the Execute method to use GetService<IMyService> and call it. The runtime service that impleme ...Show All

• irvendeep Dynamic interface to workflow

  Hi, I have a question about making a dynamic interface to workflows. I have searched thru the forums, but can't find any similarities with my problem, so I post it here. If I mistakenly missed another similar posting, please do direct me to that post. The background first. I'm trying to separate the workflow from the application that I'm developing. Let's call the application "AppX". AppX has a lot of modules, and requires multiple number of workflows for approval processes. So, I have to create several workflows in WF. In the end, I will have AppX and several workflows. All workflows are State Machine workflow, which is the most "matched" model to approval process. Since I'm trying to separate AppX from the workflow, I ...Show All

Thanks, Matt Follow-up: The setup log indicated that there was an error: "File failed to download - .." from download.microsoft.com/../~. During the failed install attempts I was using a slow internet connection (my mobile phone).
