• Sqnyy Passing Activity Properties between Activities in different States

  Hello I have created a custom activity, that stores a string in a property at the end of its execution. I want another activity in another state to be able to access this property. The first activity sets the string but the second activity gets a null value when trying to retrieve the string. Is it possible for activities in different states to access each others properties and if so how I have tried attached properties etc... V Because of spawned contexts, for more information go here , it is not possible to directly access a property value on an activity in another state. You will need to bind each property to a workflow level variable. ...Show All

• Camey [BUG] Vista doesn't start application called "install" w/o being elevated.

  Hi, I just encountered this really strange behaviour, which is definitely a bug in Vista. Consider the following situation. You're logged in as an administrator account. Start a CLI shell of your choice, start it normally, so that it's running non-elevated. Now consider a console application called install.exe. It's neither a GUI application, nor is it an installer application in the Windows sense. It's just called install.exe. In my case it's part of GNU coreutils and it's called install because it's usual task is to install software on the system. However, it's perfectly valid to call install as normal user and use it to install stuff into a subdirectory on which you have permissions. This is what happens when running under Cygwin (proce ...Show All

• kayki Initializing local services from App.Config

  I've seen plenty of examples on how to load core services (persistence, tracking, etc.) using entries in the App.Config.

• Vincent-Philippe Retrieving External Service from Activity Validator

  Hi All, I have registered a validator with my custom WF activity. On the overriden method 'Validate', i need to use some external service to perfrom the actual validation. This service is registered with the runtime via 'runtime.AddService()'. The ValidationManager that is passed as part of Validate has a method GetService. However when I invoke this method to get hold of my external service, I get null as the return value. Am I missing something here ..... Rgds Giri Since validation is done at design time as well, a validator shouldn't rely on the runtime. And ValidationManager class does not hold a reference to the runtime, as far as I know. Hi Giri - Validation happens dur ...Show All

• smp rpcndr.lib not shipped with Platform SDK

  My COM app requires rpcndr.lib which does not appear to have been shipped with the Windows SDK - I have to revert to the one that ships with VS.NET 2005.... The Windows SDK no longer ships with rpcndr.lib. Try linking against rpcrt4.lib , it replaces the functionality of rpcndr.lib. Thanks - that cured it. Incidentally the project linking with the offending file was a Proxy Stub one autocreated by VS .NET! I forgot to mention the SDK version. It is Sept CTP (5728.0.4) available from the Vista: Get The Beta download site. I can confirm that. I can't imagine what they are doing with the releases, but there is always missin ...Show All
