Hello,
We are building a WCF model hosted via webservices. We are trying out the various things in Workflow to try and get a good feel of how to set our standards.
One problem we've ran into is debugging Declarative Rule conditions. As a matter of fact we aren't having much luck with setting break points in the designers. We can set them but the never break in.
The main problem is when we have problems where things in conditional activities aren't running, we need to obviously debug the values of the params used in the condition statements. However, with the breakpoints not breaking in within the designer I haven't found a reliable way to do this.
What I've resorted to is changing conditions to code based and setting the break points in the code behind file which works.
We like the idea of Declarative Rule Conditions for some of our environments but if there isn't a reliable way to debug these rules, then we can't use them
In the environment we use Unit tests for testing and I've tried attaching to the aspnet_wp with no luck. Actually doing this Visual Studio crashes after each subsequent attach if you don't bounce IIS.
The other way is to set a break point in the unit test and debug it and then step into the call into the workflow. But still do not get to anything in the declarative rule sections.
Looking for any ideas or thoughts of how to debug the aforementioned situations.
Thanks.
