I have got a Visual Studio Solution containing several projects and have set up the references between the projects as project references. When a reference to an assembly is added, the references' properties contain a setting for Specific Version = True|False This property is missing for project references. How can it be set? I'd lik...
I heard from a friend that Microsoft rewrote all the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) again and changed everything was in .Net 3.5. Is that true? And what about what we learned about WF in 3.0 and 3.5? ...
What alternatives are there to Windows Workflow in the .Net stack? And if you have used these solutions, what made you select them over Windows Workflow and was it a good choice. Update: I went ahead and selected stateless created by Nicholas Blumhardt. This is a very simple approach to modeling states in a domain. Below is sample...

What is the best way to accomplish this in ASP.net in a hosted (medium trust) environment? ex: Send email every day at 4:00pm. ex: Send email after 15min of login. ex: Send email after 10 hrs of last change to status. The triggering logic can be complex on some of ...
Greetings! Working on a web based project were business rules and logic need to be customized by client. I want to do this without having to recompile the application every time we sign up a new client on the system. The architectures I have outlined so far are: Windows Workflow: Creating dynamic workflows and saving them to the dat...
When I create a WCF application using the built-in Visual Studio templates and try calling it while in a loop, only 5 requests get through. The service then stops responding. The only way that I can get around this is to close the connections after each call. I know that you are supposed to clean up after yourself, but I also know that...
Hi, I am having to pass a fairly large object/file to a workflow when it starts (in the order of hundreds of MBs). I am using secondary storage to dump the object and have as little of it as possible in the RAM at one time on Workflow side. Is there another way to pass and handle the object which is more efficient. Does WF provide any bu...
I am currently working on a new application (.Net 3.5/Win2008 Server environment) that does a nightly poll of a database table to find records that need processing. Very simple process overall. Previously, I have used a Windows Service "Shell" app to do the timer/sleep/poll process. My question is more of: Since I have the opportunity t...
I'm currently learning the WF framework, so bear with me; mostly I'm looking for where to start looking, not necessarily a direct answer. I just can't seem to figure out how to begin researching what I'd like in The Google. Let's say I have a simple one-step workflow (much more complicated than that, but for simplicity's sake). This wor...
This seems to be more complicated than I first guessed. I have a workflow that needs to kick off another workflow in the code. How is this done? Do I have to get a reference to the current workflow instance's WorkflowRuntime first? ...
I have a workflow that will watch certain databases and kick off other workflows when it notices a trigger. I only want one instance of this "observer" workflow to be going at any point in time; otherwise, if two or more were running, they'd both notice the change and both fire off the same workflow, which wouldn't work well. This "obse...
Hi, When building a solution on a machine without VS installed, and getting workflow compilation errors I would like to track down the source of the errors, but the msbuild output is not very helpful: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Windows Workflow Foundation\v3.0\Workflow.Targets(80,3): error : The type or namespace name 'Foo' cou...
