• millerfjtp CorrelationToken & CorrelationParameter

  I understand the use of a CorrelationToken in case you have an OwnerActivityName that has multiple correlations inside of it. I would think however that with this unique name (correlationtoken+owneractivityname) I would not need to have a unique CorrelationParameter. How is the correlationparameter related to the CorrelationToken Thanks! So, what you are saying then is that I might have multiple CallExternalMethods/HEE that are calling into the same method/expect a message back from the same event within a workflow and that the CorrelationToken identifies which one of these callers it goes back to Like: Token1 ->Owner1->param1->CEM Token1->Owner1->param1->HEE Token2->Owne ...Show All

• Steven P. A Bug In The Data Bind Dialog?

  I've created the following two simple classes public ClassA { } public ClassB{ } I've then created a simple activity called TestActivity that contains a Dependency Property for ClassA and a DependencyProperty for ClassB. I then create a simple workflow with 2 TestActivity objects. I open the Data Bind Dialog for the DependencyProperty of ClassB. In the 'Bind to an existing member' tab I can see properties of both property types ClassB and ClassA. But if I select the property of type ClassA I see the following message "The selected property of type 'WorkflowConsoleApplication1.ClassA' can't be assigned to the target type. Select a property of type 'WorkflowConsoleApplication1.ClassB'." If I don't read the messa ...Show All

  There is this function defined in winwlx.h for XP and below.

• forrestcupp Problem with custom CallExternalMethodActivity

  I have successfully implement a local service allowing me to pass parameers into the workflow. Now I want the workflow to return data. I have created a custom activity derived from CallExternalMethodActivity. I have followed the example as outlined at http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734768.aspx . I then added the custom activity to my workflow. I attempted to then bind the data property under the Properties of the activity. It is here when I receive an error. Could not bind property "ReturnData". Object of type "System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind" cannot be converted to type "System.Collections.Specialized.IOrderedDictionary". NOTE: it still creates the property bindin ...Show All

• meighlough WorkflowAuthorizationException thrown from a WebServiceInput activity terminates the workflow

  Hi I have been looking at this problem for a large part of the day and i'm completely stumped! I have created a state machine workflow exposed as a web service. On the initial state I have an event driven activity which contains a WebServiceInput activity and a WebServiceOutput activity. This all works fine. As an initial test on how to handle a WorkflowAuthorizationException I have set up the roles on the WebServiceInput activity to ensure that an authorization exception will be thrown. My problem is that I don't want the workflow to be terminated when a workflow authorization exception occurs. Instead I want a soap exception to be sent back to the client indicating an authorization exception and the workflow should remain at the ...Show All

• jmoyet Using VB6 on Vista

  Is VB6 support on Vista as a development language I have a VB6 application (which is pretty big), but when I come to compile it on Vista RC2 is fails to register all the activeX dlls that are build as part of the application. I did manage to get round it, but only by running VB6 as Administrator. In a day to day dev environment I don't want to do this every time. I am a local admin so why doesn't this allow VB to register my dlls. Does this behavior have something to do with UAC Thanks for your help Graham Portions of one of my applications are created with VB6. We've been able to successfully run these VB6 created EXEs under a Vista limited user account with UAC active with no problems. I ...Show All
