Can you use Windows Workflow and Compact Framework 3.5? I've just got an evaluation version of Visual Studio 2008 and I've had a look around but can't work out quickly if there is a way of doing this. I just don't want to waste anymore time looking around if there is no way of doing it. ...
I've been able to find Xaml Object Mapping Specification, WPF Xaml Vocabulary Specification, and Silverlight Xaml Vocabulary Specification documents online but no WF Xaml Vocabulary Specification document for Windows Workflows. I want to be able to specify workflows without using a Visual Studio IDE. Does anybody know if this specifica...
I need to get an appointment into someone's Outlook calendar based on requests from their employees. The application runs in SharePoint (WSS 3.0). My first impressions are to use iCal or send meeting requests, but I haven't done either before & I'm looking for a very quick & easy way to get it done. Any ideas? ...
Hi All, I have an application that allows different users to update some data that is then published to a website. The application uses JPA as a persistence layer. I now want to add a bit of workflow management to this scenario so that when users with junior roles update data, it is not directly published but rather waits for a senior u...
I have a process that requires approval from any two out of a group of four or five people. I'd like to create a task assigned to each person, and after two of those tasks are complete, delete the remaining tasks and move on with the workflow. Is there a way to create multiple tasks with a single CreateTask activity? Also, I'm still fai...
Hello everyone, I'm trying to develop some SharePoint workflows for the company I work for, and I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of the technology. Normally when I want to familiarize myself with something, I just play with it, look at the properties, find all the methods, etc. When I fire up Visual Studio and try to creat...

I would like to do the following: when a Sales person assigns a custom entity (let's call it 'Primary Expertise') to an Opportunity in MS CRM 4.0, the system would share the Opportunity with the user that is defined as the Owner of the associated 'Primary Expertise' record. I would like to do it automatically via workflow but cannot fi...
The application that I'm designing will retrieve and store content from a variety of disparate sources on a schedule. In some cases, the content will be retrieved based on a time interval (think stock quotes), and in other cases the content will be retrieved based on a custom schedule (MWF @ 2pm). Many of the processes lend themselves ...
I am working on a design spec for a new application that will be heavily workflow driven. Before I re-invent the wheel, is there a decent lightweight workflow engine that plugs into ASP.NET already around? Basically, I'm looking for something that handles moving through a defined set of workflow pages while handling state management au...
I'm thinking of asking my students to use git for pair programming. Because student work has to be secret, a public repo is out of the question. Instead, each student will have a private repo they maintain themselves, and they will need to exchange patches using git-format-patch. I've read the man page but I'm a little unclear which p...
Hi, Which is the best way to display a custom form for each new document being added to a specific document library? I want the user to have some control over some actions that adding the document will cause - specifically, tasks created for users in a Task List, which the contributing user will have to OK before committing. Is the ...
We are in the process of selecting a workflow solution for a company that uses Microsoft products end to end. Given the news on WF4, in that it seems to be essentially a rewrite of previous versions, is it a wise move to back the current version or should we be looking elsewhere? Ie - is the current version so bad that we would not be w...
I am looking to implement (or build as a last resort) a type of survey engine that allows for extensibility and integration into an existing workflow engine. The survey/questionnaire engine should allow for admin users to add new questions and response types (text/bool/multiple/etc), should use SQL Server for persistence and ASP.NET 2.0...
I'm creating a custom WSS workflow in Visual Studio 2008 and have a 'create task' activity. When creating the task I want to be able to reference some of the field values from the list item that is associated with the workflow and for the life of me I can't seem to determine how to get at the values within the fields on that item. I know...
I need to add Workflows to an existing solution, which already contains a class library and a web site. If I add the workflows to the class library, where they fit logically, I have no designer support. If I create them in a separate project, I tend to have circular dependencies because my domain objects run the workflows and the workf...
I have been tasked with helping the deployment of a Phase 2 of a previous SharePoint deployment. The original deployment has custom workflows that have been updated in phase 2. Is there a "How-To" for this type of situation? Some of the pitfalls we have seen requires you to mark the original workflow to not accept any new instances, th...
I'm trying to debug a workflow project that's using the default WF SQL persistence schema. Does anyone know of a good explanation for what the data in each table represents? ...
