I'm trying to get one workflow to call another one. I tried using the invokeWorkflowActivity, I set the TargetWorkflow to the workflow that I want to get called. It's in another project so I added the project as a reference. What else do I have to set up in order for this to work properly. I get no errors, the first workflow starts and...
Hi, I'm implementing a Custom Workflow and Activities to be reused in multiple projects and trying to get them to be as easy to use as possible. In this workflow I have a Property whose name is 'UserID' which I'd like to bind to a dependencyproperty in one of my activities. I can currently bind it at design time searching explicitly for ...
Hi, I need to design an InfoPath form that submits to different SharePoint libraries. Basically there needs to be a drop down list where a user selects a specific department. The department that is selected would then specify which SharePoint library the InfoPath Form gets submitted to and who gets notified to approve the request form....
Hi All, I am going to outline my workflow and I would like some suggestions on how to improve the efficiency of this. It seems right now a bit cumbersome and repetitive (something I hate), so I am looking for some improvements. Keep in mind I'm still new to django and how it works but I'm a pretty fluent coder (IMHO). So here goes......
Hey all, I have created a WinForms to handle Persistence Activities using the Windows WorkFlow Foundation. I'm using the .NET 3.0 SQL and VS2005 as the IDE with C# as the code language. Also, the environment is mandated to me by the corporate policy for development. So until the dinosaurs decide to upgrade, I'm stuck with VS2005. My ...
I'm attempting to make a StateMachine execute some database action between states. So I have a "starting" state that uses CallExternalMethodActivity to call a "BeginExecuteNonQuery" function on an class decorated with ExternalDataExchangeAttribute. After that it uses a SetStateActivity to change to an "ending" state. The "ending" state...

Activity 'ifRequestComplete' validation failed: Property "Condition" has invalid value. Condition expression is invalid. The type name specified ("Request, ApprovalWorkflow")...
Can you restart a workflow or push a workflow to its next step using SharePoint Web Services? If so which web service do you use? If you change a field like "Status" and the workflow uses this to know what it should do next... will it "nudge" the workflow forward? ...
I read the latest coding horror post, and one of the comments touched a nerve for me: This is the type of situation that test driven design/refactoring are supposed to fix. If (big if) you have tests for the interfaces, rewriting the implementation is risk-free, because you will know whether you caught everything. Now in theory I l...
Are there any tools which can reflect over Windows Workflow or SharePoint Workflow assemblies and generate a .png or some other image type to present to a user? Dynmically via ASP.NET? Or if there isn't anything like this... how do you provide documentation / end-user documentation? I would be interested in free or non-free tools. ...
I have a skelta workflow that has "finished with errors" according to the WorkflowExecutionReport. Unfortunately I can't see any way to actually see what the errors were so I can figure out what went wrong. Does any one know how one goes about viewing these errors? ...

We are still in .NET 1.1 I have a small application about 15 pages. The workflow is not simple like step 1, step 2.. But it is very random, user can jump from step 1 to step5 or very randomly. Not only user can jump but due to some business rules we need to put user in respective step x. What I want to know is how to keep these tracki...
As a part of our application I need to write "simple" workflow system which will be used for supporting document creation life-cycle. It should support: - different activities: edit document, verify document (approve, reject), publish document... - assign this activities to different people/users - "parallel split and join". For example ...
I am looking to build an messaging infrastructure to facilitate communications between different systems in our organization. There are many way to go about this. I have looked into nServiceBus and MassTransit. How does WF/WCF fit into this - if at all? If it does, are there any good articles, documentation or books that focus on this...
I have created a workflow, and Im running it via WorkflowInstance.Run(). This workflow has numerous bookmarks, and I would like to be able to query it for which bookmark is responsible for the current idle-state. How might I do this? Thanks ...
I have a .net 4.0 Workflow, which I am hosting myself (just with WorkflowInstance.Run) and when I rehydrate the workflow I would like to initialize some of its internal arguments so that subsequent activities can use these values... How might I go about doing this? ...
I want to track my custom activities' property values in my own tracking service, .i.e. I don't need it in the built in SQL tracking service. I have been successful in reproducing the SQL tracking service in that I can see the worklfow and activity states etc. but I want to see property values also. We are writing many workflows for a d...

No source control, no testing. Changes are made by either the designers or the developers to the staging environment, tested by the project managers and b...
