My first WWF demo working
I’m SO chuffed with myself because I’ve completed my first working demo for Windows Workflow Foundation!
Titled “Connecting Activities” it demonstrates how to use the DependencyProperty to pass data from one activity to another.
It’s not much but I’ve been dying to properly play with WWF and it had to wait until I got my own PC at home and then only once I got a VM with WinFX installed (the latter being a very valuable suggestion from Willy-Peter. NEVER install Beta SDKs on your dev machine in case it corrupts).
Something I want to share which I didn’t add to the demo is that I recommend you update the DependencyProperty – Property code snippet (found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\Snippets\1033\Workflow\DependencyProperty - Property.snippet) and add <Shortcut>dependprop</Shortcut> just under the <Title> tag as this’ll make it easier to access.
As soon as I’ve got the documentation done for my demo I’ll upload it for all to see.
