Windows Workflow - What basic tutorials? What's going on here?I thought I was an experienced programmer but I'm looking at the beginning
WWF tutorial (Simple Expense Report) and I'm baffled. I feel like I don't know how to even begin reading this. I thought this was supposed to be interactive coding. Since when do we cut and paste into a project file? Is this just a temporary Beta thing? Why this constant use of command prompts? Also I have downloaded other samples onto my machine and none of them seem to work correctly. In the OrderingStateMachine demo, I get the error message: "The project file <C:\data\Visual Studio 2005\OrderingStateMachine\VB\OrderWorkFlows\OrderWorkFlows.vbproj cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation." ?????? Could someone direct me to a more user-friendly, comprehensible tutorial? Well, to begin with are you able to create WF project from the template file?
If not then you need to install VS 2005 extensions for WF. HTH My mistake. I don't see any templates for WF. It was the extensions for
WPF/WCF that I installed. Back to the downloads. But my question still stands. As an introduction to WF, that tutorial makes no sense.

As an experienced professional you should know by
now MS documentation has rarely been good. I had my share of issues dealing with WF (read WTF!) at the start. I had to uninstall all previous versions of sdk and install new release. HTH I've just installed the WF VS extensions and tried to write a very simple
app. Nothing is working and I clearly do not understand the basic principles. Time to Read The Fine Manual! Thanks! Show quote "Vijay" wrote: > Yep, that is no surprise.

at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735967.aspx will be more useful than digging through local help files and looking for samples. But it's still very alien technology to me. Show quote "Vijay" wrote: > Please share your experience on WF once you get it going. > Thanks >  |
