I have a very similar problem, everything is right with my workflow and the app, but if you add an sqlpersistence service starts to show the QueueException with with the message from the original post, the instances persist when idle and everything goes right until you try to raise an event, and if you set the ExternalDataEventArgs WaitForIdle to true it never raises the event, any idea Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml?

    - How to record from 'Wave' or 'Stereo Mix' in Vista? Hi! I was also searching for the stereo-mix for a VERY long time and finally found it. Right click on vistas sound-control-panel and select "show deactivated" You will see the stereo mix device appear. You can activate it, by right click-> activate. I use directshow for audiocapture. After activating the stero-mix device I was able to receive it from the AudioCaptureDeviceEnum (or so) Method and was able to capture data the old fashioned way.

    - openthreadtoken fails on Windows Vista but not on Windows XP Thanks. I followed your suggestion; OpenProcessToken succeeds on Vista (see updated function). CreateProcessAsUser() still fails with error code 87 (ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER) on Vista but succeeds on XP. I don't understand why it is failing on Vista with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER when it works on XP with the same parameters (settings->GetRpcServer() returns "c:\Program Files\test app\rpcserver.exe"). Isn't the CreateProcessAsUser() interface supposed to be unchanged between Vista and XP Is there a way of debugging this further Olav void CreateServer() { RPC_STATUS status; unsigned short *szStringBinding = NULL; TCHAR pszProtocolSequence[] = _T( "ncacn_np" ); TCHAR pszEndpoint[] = _T( \\pipe\\rpcserver ); status = RpcStringBindingCompose( NULL, reinterpret_cast < unsigned short *>(pszProtocolSequence), NULL, reinterpret_cast < unsigned short *>(pszEndpoint), NULL, &szStringBinding); // String binding output. if (status) { ::MessageBox(NULL,_T( "rpcstringbindingcompose feilet" ),_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } status = RpcBindingFromStringBinding( szStringBinding, // The string binding to validate. &hRpc1Binding); // Put the result in the implicit binding handle defined in the IDL file. if (status) { ::MessageBox(NULL,_T( "rpcbindingfromstringbinding feilet" ),_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } HANDLE hToken = NULL; HANDLE hTokenDup = NULL; LPVOID pEnvironment = NULL; STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; memset(&si, 0, sizeof (STARTUPINFO)); memset(&pi, 0, sizeof (PROCESS_INFORMATION)); si.cb = sizeof (STARTUPINFO); si.lpDesktop = _T( "Winsta0\\Default" ); if (!OpenThreadToken(GetCurrentThread(), TOKEN_QUERY|TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY|TOKEN_DUPLICATE, TRUE, &hToken)) { DWORD error = GetLastError(); if (error == ERROR_NO_TOKEN) { if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_QUERY|TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY|TOKEN_DUPLICATE, &hToken)) { DWORD error = GetLastError(); TCHAR tmp[500]; wsprintf(tmp,_T( "openprocesstoken failed %d" ), error); ::MessageBox(NULL,tmp,_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } } else { TCHAR tmp[500]; wsprintf(tmp,_T( "openthreadtoken failed %d" ), error); ::MessageBox(NULL,tmp,_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } } if (!DuplicateTokenEx(hToken, TOKEN_IMPERSONATE|TOKEN_READ|TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY|TOKEN_DUPLICATE, NULL, SecurityImpersonation, TokenPrimary, &hTokenDup)) { ::MessageBox(NULL,_T( "duplicatetokenex failed" ),_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } CloseHandle(hToken); if (!CreateEnvironmentBlock(&pEnvironment, hTokenDup, FALSE)) { ::MessageBox(NULL,_T( "createenvironment failed" ),_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } // This function fails on Vista with error code 87, on Windows XP it is successfull if (!CreateProcessAsUser(hTokenDup, settings->GetRpcServer(), NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE, CREATE_NO_WINDOW, pEnvironment, NULL, &si, &pi)) { DWORD error = GetLastError(); TCHAR tmp[500]; wsprintf(tmp,_T( "createprocessasuser failed %d" ), error); ::MessageBox(NULL,tmp,_T( "debug" ),MB_OK); } DestroyEnvironmentBlock(pEnvironment); CloseHandle(hTokenDup); } Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml?

    - How does the STS encrypt the token? How is CardSpace being invoked Per the Tech Ref ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb298802.aspx ), if the RP has included an AppliesTo element in its RST template, you will get that. Otherwise, you will get the RP endpoint data, including the x509 cert. It looks to me like the RP is providing its own AppliesTo element. In this case, I would expect either a) the RP and the IP/STS to have a business relationship which would enable the IP/STS to look up the public key to encrypt to or b) the RP would include an x509 cert to encrypt to.

    - Please Help! Communication from App to Workflow and visa versa Hi All I have been playing with Workflow for a while now and im still struggle with a major part of it all, communication between the host and the workflow. Most the examples I find wont load properly (they seem to be aimed at the beta version). I have built some simple workflows that do stuff like this. 1, Work flow is started up and parameters passed across. 2, Workflow runs, does some tasks (sends emails, writes to database). Application sits there minding its own business. 3, Workflow waits for user action before starting second phase. 4, User kicks off second phase of the workflow. Button on form calls the even that the workflow needs to carry on. 5, Workflow runs and does more tasks. 6, Workflow finishes and i capture this in the application. What I want to do Is when the workflow finishes the first phase and waits for the next event for there to be some communication that is has finished stage one and requires the user take some action. I have tried using CallExternalMethod but whats the code I need to put into the application to handle that event fireing I hope this makes sense and any help would be great!! Im at my wits end with it all :( Thanks Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml? Software Development for Windows Vista

    - WM ASF Writer memory leak? Hi all, I have tried to build a graph to capture images then save them into a WMV file. I used a SmartTee filter to preview the result and save it to file. I found that the virtual memory increase stably when I did the following steps; 1. Build graph, and connect the source fillter, SmartTee filter, Render filter, ASF writer. 2. Run the graph. 3. Stop the graph. 4. Remove all filters, then release the graph 5. go to step 1. If I implemented the steps without adding ASF writer, the virtual memory looked normal. My system has installed HotFix_839203 that fixs Windows Media Component memory leak. But it still happened. Does anyone meet such problem Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml? Software Development for Windows Vista

    - VMR9Allocator in fullscreen Hello, It seems that the same kind of question has already been asked, but there is no answer yet. I am using the Directshow sample VMR9Allocator, and I need to display my application in fullscreen. First I simply tried to maximize the main window size in popup mode; it works but I still have the common tearing of the windowed mode. So I would like to implement the vmr9 renderless fullscreen mode, but I don't know how to proceed, I can't find any information about that. VMR9Allocator is already in renderless mode. Now when creating my device, I changed my D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS and put Windowed at false ; however in this case it seems that vmr9 reads my video but nothing is diplayed on the screen. I don't know what I am missing. Could somebody help me Thank you for your time and consideration. Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml?

    - Unable to find a control using UIAutomation We have a new WPF web application which genearates a lot of dynamic controls. One of them is a "TextBlock". I used the UISpy to see the control properties. I was able to see the control only in the Raw tree and not in Contol tree view. I tried using the below code to get the control AutomationElement parent; //Initialized parent element. AutomationElementCollection coll = parent.FindAll(TreeScope.Descendants, Automation.RawViewCondition); coll had 0 elements in it. Then I used the TreeWalker to see if I can get the control, using the below code and I was able to get it. TreeWalker walker = new TreeWalker(Automation.RawViewCondition); AutomationElement e = walker.GetFirstChild(parent); while(e != null) { e = walker.GetNextSibiling(e); } The only property that looks a bit suspisious to me about this control is its AutomationElement property ��IsControlElement�� is false. So my question is, why can't I get the control using FindAll/FindFirst method when I am mentioning it to use the raw view. Is there something wrong I am doing that is making the IsControlElement property of my TextBlock false Smitha Saligrama MSFT Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml?

    - MFC Project(C++) vs compilation error with IDI_SHIELD, BCM_SETSHIELD, Button_SetElevationRequired and friends My workaround was to explicitly declare the value in my sources as VC6 choked on the Vista includes, though it may have worked had I put the effort in. It did pick up the definition but other, more complex, issues occurred where more and more other includes were needed. From use of previous SDKs inside VC, it's unlikely to need to build on Vista to work on Vista, and that you're not picking up the definition means that the paths may not be behaving as you expect. On VC6 it's generally a bad idea to add the SDK folders to the Tools/Options/Directories list (for example, it's not stored in the project if you share the code) but if you do, then ensure that the SDK includes are above the VC include paths otherwise it will continue to use the VC includes (it will find VC's CommCtrl header and not look any further down the list). Note that doing this may break other projects that are expecting to use the standard VC includes (another reason to put the SDK paths in the project). Also check that your project is not configured to ignore the standard include list. Make sure you're including the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Include\CommCtrl.h - line 7899 defines BCM_SETSHIELD.

    - New USB Devices not recognized in Vista I have the same problem and now all 4 USB ports are disabled. I have tried the recommendations of the laptop manufacturer (HP) but that didn't work. The problem was caused by disconnecting an external harddrive. Somehow that blew 1 port and then it screwed up 2 more. Now none of them work and I still have 3 mystery "Unknown Devices" in my Device Manager. I'v uninstalled the Root Hub several times and they reappear each time. This is very annoying.

    - Activities with Collection Properties + Undo... My latest findings... I can change the serialization behaviour of my collection by using a type converter on the property, and modifying the ConvertTo() method. [TypeConverter(typeof(MyCollectionTypeConverter))] public List<string> SomeStrings { get { return _strings; } set { _strings = value; } } In this way, I can explicitly specify how to convert it to a string. This works for a simple List property and allows me to undo edits to that collection. However, it also requires that there be a setter on the property (if not, the serialized items are ADDED to the collection, rather than replacing the existing items). And of course, having a setter violates the rules for collection serialization, meaning the property can't be saved as part of a workflow definition. Not a problem for us in this specific case (we have some custom behaviour), but still worth noting. Although the undo serialization process uses ConvertTo to serialize the property, it does NOT seem to use the ConvertFrom method on the TypeConverter when deserializing it (how it determines the deserialization behaviour, I haven't been able to determine). This means I cannot control how the property is deserialized, making it hard, if not impossible, to properly serialize a more complex collection (say a KeyedCollection, or Dictionary). I do not know what the deserializer expects in this case. Any ideas out there Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml?

    - WCF / WF Orcas - ReceiveActivity First, this stuff looks awesome. We were gearing up to write a bunch of ServiceHost -> Service -> ExternalDataExchange stuff to get our workflows going, but the new Orcas WF/WCF integration seems like it's going to make things much, much, easier. I have a few questions (the docs are essentially empty, and I've only seen a few very simplistic examples on the web): 1: How is ContextToken used I.e., we can set values and pick a parent, but what does this do 2: How do we specify the context on the client side For instance, if I have an existing workflow instance ID, and I want to call a specific ReceiveActivity on it I'm guessing it's pretty easy, but I'm just missing something obvious :\. Microsoft: Thank you so much for creating this integration -- our code design just got much, much easier . -Michael Tag: Windows Workflow Foundation How to activitybind with a registerattached property in xoml?

How do you express an activitybind in xoml when the path needs to point to a registerattached property

I've defined my own CompositeActivity class with one dependencyproperty added using the RegisterAttached method. A little like the PrioritizedInterleaveActivity in Essential WWF.
This activity is used in a xoml. It has a single child activity, a Sequence. The sequence has a number of activities. One of the activities needs the actual value of the dependency property attached to the sequence. But how do you express that in xoml

"{ActivityBind MySequence,Path=PrioritizedInterleaveActivity.Priority}" does not seems to work. It results in the following error:

error 1549: Activity 'PrintLine' validation failed: Path 'PrioritizedInterleave.Priority' used to specify member for 'MySequence' is invalid. Path needs to point to valid member.

Thans for your help.

Shelly Guo - MSFT

You can only use ActivityBind on actual CLR properties or fields. You can try creat a CLR property that delegates calls to the attached property and then bind to the CLR property. Or if your property doesn't have to be an attached property, you can just make it a regular dependency property and bind to it directly.
