My custom activity has a delay that will need to be set different values at different times. The first time it is set, it might be 5 seconds. The second time, it might be 10 seconds, and so on. How can one do this... Delay does not have an ActivityContext lambda that will allow me to get a workflow variable. ...
I read a bit about the overall idea of this technology but it reminds me of a few decades ago when we were told "in the future you won't write code, you'll connect boxes in some graphical tool". Is it a technology which has become central in .NET development (like WCF and WPF have) or has it failed to catch on? ...

While doing some maintenance work, came across a project that apparantly is using the WCSF (contrib) PageFlow. The application works great ( think survey or interview ), but to change a question, the workflow has to be compiled and deployed. We are looking at a way to load the XOML from a database (I know how to do this in WF), but c...

I need a web-based tool which support for easy designing forms, role-based users for completing the forms and an embedded report and chart generator for analyzing data (if charts support drill-down its more useful).

I am looking for a java based workflow engine which is powerful enough to have most of the workflow features but simple to implement.
