I've got a NativeActivity which contains an Activity body. The purpose of this activity is to expose a resource for the duration of the child activity as a Variable. The problem I've encountered is it appears the Variable cannot be used outside the activity. I'll use StreamReader as an example resource. ResourceActivity.cs: [Designer(t...

Hi, We have an issue where a Database table has to be updated on the status for a particular entity. Presently, its all Java code with a lot of if conditions and an update to the status.

I'm getting a weird threading issue inside a SharePoint workflow that I'd like to learn more about. I'm trying to send an email using SPUtility.SendEmail asynchronously by firing up a new thread to do it. This successfully works at the end of a workflow for a summary email. I tried doing the same to replace a task notification email but ...
Hi, We have very complicated code(still well written) which performs lot of stuff for a particular operation. Currently, this is performed in a service which talks to database directly.

Hi, So we are using a workflow management tool(BPM tool). each activity has a bunch of data elements and certain javascript stuff etc. So my question is, how can I automate a process which would intern use this work flow engine(mainly human tasks/activities) and fill out the data that we have and continue. My first thought was to use ...
This has a rather SharePoint spin to it but the problem is straight workflow. I've got a parallel replication activity which contains a sequence activity. The sequence activity contains a CreateTask activity, a CodeActivity, a OnTaskChanged activity and finally a CompleteTask activity. The idea is to create a task for each username pass...

Dia Project What I haven't seen yet (and I'm wondering about) is whether you can generate something code, yaml or xml based on a diagram? For example sa...

Lots of the opinions seem to be inclined towards Drools flow as its more flexible, knowledge oriented, easier to integrate with business rules, etc..

Hi, I wonder if you can help me. I'm writing a game (2d) which allows players to take multiple routes, some of which branch/merge - perhaps even loop. Each section of the game will decide which section is loaded next. I'm calling each section an IStoryElement - And I'm wondering how best to link these elements up in a way that is easi...

Hi there, I have been studding GIT for the last couple of weeks in an attempt to get my team's code under control. Unfortunately the code we work with is a proprietary language with some peculiarities which is keeping me from finding a practical enough workflow to be implemented. Still, I'm probably not aware of all GIT's capabilities s...
