We'll be having a talk this Thursday at Microsoft (Pinelands) at 6:00 PM on Microsoft's new Windows Workflow Foundation technology. See more here.
For those who've been wondering why I've been a bit quiet, we're in the last week of development of a project that's been on the go for over 18 months. No points for figuring out where I've been spending my weekends...
Also, I've been working on the upcoming Windows Workflow talk for Thursday. I'm really excited about this one because it's such an awesome technology! I'm hoping to see loads of people there :-)...
Also, I discovered yesterday that Winamp can play multiple songs simultaneously by running multiple instances. There's a checkbox under General Preferences called "Allow multiple instances". Yes, in answer to the question, I did _need_ to listen to the songs at the same time! I needed some _serious_ musical input to get the coding going string.
I finally got to spend a little bit of time working with these two together this weekend, and I managed to get a Workflow project hosted and activated with a WCF service. I suspect this will be one of the more natural workflow hosting situations and it's nice to be able to implement it this way.
One trick I did learn is that you have to make sure you fully qualify the workflow type in the Workflow Instance constructor (as below) otherwise it does not seem to work but gives no error.
Example:
WorkflowInstance instance = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(typeof([Full Namespace].[Class])...
Also, I managed to bash out part two of my WCF article series, so expect it later today...
I finally managed to get Part 2 of the series done this weekend and it can be found
here. Part 3 on the Message_ attributes has been started and will hopefully follow shortly.
