  • Windows Workflow 104 or WF Part 4

  • More Specifics on the WF Issue

    I asked Tomas to expand on the details of the issue we faced last Sunday and it's this: What’s going is that you wanted to create a custom, reusable composite StateActivity-derived activity.

  • Windows Workflow 103 or WF Part 3 - Introduction to Workflow

    In the last two posts 101 and 102 , I went pretty deep in some areas. I want to step back and do some more tutorial stuff.
