    - Application compatibility test for vista and executables I'm slightly confused by the message but you need to examine all of your applications executables, exe, dll whatever. Application Verifier can be applied to any and all of them. Take a look at the test cases if you plan to get certified. At the very least, review the Application Compability Cookbook.

    - Windows MediaPlayer does not update duration on EC_LENGTH_CHANGE event? This doesn't really answer your question, but I have a couple other suggestions... The WPF media element doesn't expose the source filter directly but you could use another mechanism to get a pointer to it then you could query the duration directly. If you don't need alpha blended video, I found VMR7 in overlay mode works pretty well. You configure the VMR to force overlay and don't draw the color key, then draw the color key in your WPF page. Downside is no alpha blending and overlay mode doesn't work in Vista very well (disables the composition engine). I was facing that and other issues with the MediaElement and eventually decieded to ditch it. Other problems I had with the MediaElement were that there is no HW acceleration and I had issues with AV sync. I hope to revisit it in a while and see if it has improved, but for now I am using the VMR7 method I described. Also I'm curious, what does your SBE do that the the Microsoft one doesn't do Tag: Deploy issue: Windows service with WCF & WF

    - Type 'System.Runtime.Remoting.ServerIdentity' is not marked as serializable. Karron, Actually, ServerIdentity is not serializable. Do you have a remoted object as a member of your worklow class (or custom activity) If so, that wouldn't likely work without you writing custom code to enable it, as WF wouldn't have a way of reconnecting the proxy to the remote object when the workflow was deserialized from the persistence service and recreated in memory (well, it has no way of saving it in the first place, but you get the idea).

    - How to run STS with a Kerberos Auth.? 1. Creating card for Kerberos scenario: The card to be created needs to have a kerberos credential like Code Snippet <wsid:UserCredential> <wsid:KerberosV5Credential /> </wsid:UserCredential> In terms of the sample STS, the Card -> Type parameter in the card creation ini file has to be KerberosAuth 2. STS hosting: Due to the nature of Kerberos, the STS must register its service principal name (SPN) under the account in the Active Directory directory service that the service is running under. By default, Active Directory registers the network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) computer name. Active Directory also permits the Network Service or the Local System account to use Kerb. For simplicity sake, you can run the STS as local system. Also, the STS must expose its endpoint identity as the hosting machine's COMPUTERNAME (endpoint identity is specified in the MEX response) In terms of the sample STS, the binding should be something like Code Snippet <customBinding> <binding name="StsBinding"> <useManagedPresentation /> <security authenticationMode="Kerberos" keyEntropyMode="ServerEntropy"></security> <httpTransport /> </binding> </customBinding> Also, you might still need to configure some certificate for the STS to use for encrypting the token for RP. On XP, you can use the scheduler to create a command window to run as system like this: Code Snippet at 18:00 /interactive cmd Tag: Deploy issue: Windows service with WCF & WF

    - Suspend long running process I'm not sure that I understand what your trying to accomplish. When you say that you want to "suspend" the workflow what do you mean The HandleExternalEvent activity will wait until the external event occurs, and then it will execute. If you "suspend" the workflow, then you cause it to pause execution, meaning that it won't process the external event. Does that answer your question Tag: Deploy issue: Windows service with WCF & WF

    - RequestedDisplayToken not being displayed I've got display tokens working fine. Looking at your xml, I'd make 2 suggestions. Firstly, the DisplayClaim "URI" attribute you have should be "Uri". This is probably the real culprit - CardSpace won't be able to find a DisplayClaim with a matching uri, because it's looking for a Uri attribute you're not providing. If that doesn't fix it, I'd suggest option #2, which is to remove whitespace around the text in DisplayValue, so it looks more like: <ic:DisplayValue>555-5555</ic:DisplayValue> As luck would have it, my data gets output in that format, so I don't know if it's actually an issue. Good luck! Matt Tag: Deploy issue: Windows service with WCF & WF

    - transactions with C# and class library Ideally, your code will look something like the following: using ( TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope ()) { biz1.updateSale(someguid); biz2.insertUserInfo(sometext); biz3.addNote(someguid); scope.Complete(); } And that’s it. This assumes 2 things: 1) You are using a System.Transaction aware connection to SQL (things like SqlConnection) and 2) You are opening the database connection inside the TransactionScope. A good example of this can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172152.aspx . And in general here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0abf6ykb.aspx To help you further we will need to know how you’re connecting to the database (which API’s etc) and where those connections are created/destroyed.

    - Elevation Fails, why? Hi, i am testing out vista application manifests and elevation. my app is a simple form with a button that displays a messasge box. I have deployed it using clickonce. the only code ive added is private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox .Show( "Version 1" ); } and a manifest file < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " utf-8 " standalone = " yes " > < assembly xmlns = " urn chemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1 " manifestVersion = " 1.0 " > < assemblyIdentity version = " 1.0.0.0 " processorArchitecture = " msil " name = " test " type = " win32 " /> < trustInfo xmlns = " urn chemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3 " > < security > < requestedPrivileges > < requestedExecutionLevel level = " requireAdministrator " uiAccess = " false " /> </ requestedPrivileges > </ security > </ trustInfo > </ assembly > when i install the app, with requestedExecutionLevel = "asInvoker" it installs fine with no elevation prompts. when install the app, with requestedExecutionLevel = "requireAdministrator " the install fails. i expected the app to ask for elevation and then install. the error in the log is + Execution level requested by the application is not supported. what could be causing the error Thanks, ali.

    - Custom Activity - Custom State Interaction Hi Rahul, Did you take a look at the following sample : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms741709.aspx Some other possible solutions that came to my mind : You can have your workflow to have a global property on which you can set the values, if you dont want your workflow to have a property then try the following: You can have an attached dependency property on the receive activity that will be attached on the workflow and you may be able to pass the values like that. When it is set on the activity, it will actually be set on the workflow. You can hold it in your host, and everytime you can get the value from the host, set it and send the value back to host. If none of these work for you let me know and i can try to come up with more solutions Elif Tag: Deploy issue: Windows service with WCF & WF

    - Which editor can I use for DataSet property? You'll want to put your own UITypeEditor attribute on your property. Then you can choose what editor you want to use to allow setting of the property. You can use a built in editor, or build one of your own. I think if you click the blue icon near the property name, the binding dialog will come up and allow you to bind, but if the type is more complex or has a type that already has an editor, then that is what you will use if you edit the property directly.

    - how to initialize parameters of a custom activity through XAML file Chakri, The current version of the WF doesn't allow to initialize a HashTable object in the xoml file. The object can be initialized via the CreateWorkflow method from the host application. Try to replace the HashTable object by WorkflowParameterBindingCollection class to enable initializing a collection within the xoml file. The following snippet is an example of the code and xoml file: public static DependencyProperty ParametersProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Parameters", typeof(WorkflowParameterBindingCollection), typeof(CustomActivity1), new PropertyMetadata(DependencyPropertyOptions.Metadata | DependencyPropertyOptions.ReadOnly)); [Description("...")] [Category("...")] [Browsable(true)] [DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)] public WorkflowParameterBindingCollection Parameters { get { return ((WorkflowParameterBindingCollection)(base.GetValue(ParametersProperty))); } } in the constructor: base .SetReadOnlyPropertyValue( ParametersProperty, new WorkflowParameterBindingCollection ( this )); xoml file: <nsX:CustomActivity1 x:Name="MyCustomActivity" NameToPrint="HelloWorld" HashTable1="{x:Null}" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;Assembly=mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, ..." xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/workflow " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " xmlns:nsX="clr-namespace:MyNamespace;Assembly=MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, ..."> <nsX:CustomActivity1.Parameters> <WorkflowParameterBinding ParameterName="name" Value="{ActivityBind MyCustomActivity, Path=NameToPrint}" /> <WorkflowParameterBinding ParameterName="name2" Value="HelloWorld" /> <WorkflowParameterBinding ParameterName="guid"> <WorkflowParameterBinding.Value> <sys:Guid>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</sys:Guid> </WorkflowParameterBinding.Value> </WorkflowParameterBinding> <WorkflowParameterBinding ParameterName="TimeoutDuration"> <WorkflowParameterBinding.Value> <sys:TimeSpan>00:00:09</sys:TimeSpan> </WorkflowParameterBinding.Value> </WorkflowParameterBinding> <WorkflowParameterBinding ParameterName="TimeoutDuration2" Value="{ActivityBind MyCustomActivity, Path=Parameters["TimeoutDuration"].Value}"/> </nsX:CustomActivity1.Parameters> </nsX:CustomActivity1> Thanks Roman Tag: Deploy issue: Windows service with WCF & WF

    - How to design exception handling? Hi, As you mention you can handle the situation in either way. I would prefer solution 1 with while activity containing sequence which contains the code activity. While Sequence Code FaultHandler You can simply eat the exception in the faultHandler and check a boolean in the condition of while. The boolean is set to true in codeActivity when you can access the external system. When an exception is thrown in an activity, the exception keeps getting thrown further up the service until it is caught. In case no faultHandlers are defined on the instance the instance terminates. In case fault handler is defined for an activity, the activity goes to faulted state and if exception is not rethrown, the instance continues to the next activity (note: in this case the execution will move to while activity after fault is handled on the sequence, this particular instance of sequence goes to faulted state but on next iteration a new instance of sequence is spawned with a new execution context just like regular flow in a while activity) Hope this helps.

Hello everybody,

I'm using WCF and WF mixed up in one project. I've made a Windows Service which contains a WCF service and a WF host. All is working properly but now I'm facing a deploy problem. When I install this windows service I need to use 'LocalSystem' service account or a local 'User Account' with an administrative rights, if I don't do that I can install the service but not open it. As you can imagine I would like to avoid giving that rights to my service, do you know any way to do that

Maybe the best place to post this question was WCF forum but I think it could be useful for the rest of WF people.

Thanks in advance,

Francesc

Have you tried Network service

And what do you want to do in your WF host and WCF service (what privilege do you want in your service )
