C# - User Defined Dynamic Workflows In Workflow Foundation 4?
Mar 29, 2011
I have been, exhaustively, looking at examples of WF4 and am not sure it will work for my project. I need to be convinced otherwise. I am struggling with how we would implement a system to use WF4 so users have the ability to define workflows. It seems you need VS2010 experience to design and implement a WF 4workflow. I love wheat it can offer, but feel it may be too complicated for non techical users.
Do we just define a ton of custom activies that a user can move into a workflow? How can we make it as easy as possible for a user to build the workflow?
We have and application that we want to allow, Joe / Jane user to create their own workflows for specific items. For example, Request For Information items. The RFI has specific states it can be in that are defined by the user.
They should be allowed to control the flow based on those states. There will be some base items that the application defines as to what will happen based on a decision / condition. So, things like notifications (who gets notified when something changes), time frames (how long something can stay in a certain state before something else happens), and possibly some other conditions.
The conditions / decision types will be limited by the application, for now. But imagine they can build the workflow and add those decisions / conditions in without any coding knowledge.

The client wants to see a graphical representation of the workflow. In addition (let's say it is a workflow for processing orders), the client wants to see at what point in the workflow any given order is, indicated on the graphical workflow representation by a highlighted node or some visual queue.
All of this must be available via a web interface.
Was hoping somebody had some bright ideas for how to achieve this without writing extensive custom controls.
Does Workflow Foundation 4 offer anything itself that would assist toward this end?

I read some blog that If we host workflow foundation in asp.net, there will be issues with workflow persistence, is this correct? and what is the better idea to host workflow foundation on asp.net or on windows service?

I know this is not the right place to post this question but I dont know where to go. My question is this.I have a statemachine workflow, this workflow works fine until a new requirement is came. The new requirement is to add a new state and event driven but this event driven is fired if the document library item is updated where the workfow is embedded. Is this posible? if so what event activity should I place?

I received a user defined XML file and want to programmatically read and display it on a browser using ASP.net. I also want to allow users to add more tags, elements with their attributes according to the existing schema through the web interface used to display the XML. Where can I find some techniques with examples?
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<bookstore>
<book ISBN="10-000000-001"
title="The Iliad and The Odyssey"
price="12.95">
<comments>
<userComment rating="4"
comment="Best translation I've read." />
<userComment rating="2"
comment="I like other versions better." />
</comments>
</book>
</bookstore>
The XML file contains a nested structure — each book can contain its property values, as well as one or more comments as separate elements. I want to allow users to view each of the property values and change them as well as add more userComment tags.

I am looking to port my very basic DBMS software from classic ASP to ASP.net - however the user would need to input the connection details in order to connect to their specific DBMS server.
Is this at all possible with ASP.NET MVC (very similar to DSN-less connections in ASP).

Suppose I have a string in U.S datetime format, "2/25/2010" and the server is on U.S East Coast with a timezone offset of "-5". When I convert the string via
Convert.ToDateTime("2/25/2010").ToUniversalTime(), it saved as "2/25/2010 5:00:00 AM" (which is correct as local server time for it is 2/25/2010 12:00:00 AM"
Now, suppose my user is in the U.S central time with a timezone offset of "-6", what I want to do is convert it approriately and when this user from central time do "Convert.ToDateTime("2/25/2010").ToUniversalTime()" type of statement, the datetime saved will be "2/25/2010 6:00:00 AM"

need to let users to generate online questionnaires that could be answered by other users. I was wondering if this could be done using the WebParts.I have a custom application with already set up database. I do not use any form of Membership Provider (I have a custom made form of user authentication, I did not want to be bounded by the rigid frame of the ASP Membership). As far as I know Web Parts uses db (called SharePoint ?) to store the state etc. so this might be the first problem because I do not want to modify my DB just for the sake of WebParts (I assume it would require a whole lot of changes).So I was wondering if it would be possible to use Web Parts only as a form of "ASP code generator" e.g. I could create the questionnarie using WebParts and then export the result somehow (?) to print an ascx/aspx file or code.If this can not be done, can anybody tell me if there are any components that would be useful here? Some sort of toolkit where one could create asp code online? (with textboxes, checkboxes etc.).

I have a base user control (inherited from System.Web.UI.UserControl)
public delegate void MyEventHandler(object sender, MyEventArgs e);
public event MyEventHandler ControlLoaded;
//Fire the event from here
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
MyEventArgs cmdEventArgs = new MyEventArgs("somearg");
ControlLoaded(this, cmdEventArgs);
}
I have several controls that are derived from this base user control.
On the host ASPX page, I need to subscribe to the ControlLoaded event.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//subscribe to the event
//This line DOES NOT WORK as I cannot attach event to a base control - It needs an instance of the user control which I don't have
BaseUserControl.ControlLoaded += new MyEventHandler(ControlLoaded);
}
private void ControlLoaded(object sender, MyEventArgs e)
{
// some control has been loaded
}
How do I subscribe to the ControlLoaded event?

I am developing an application in which I have to use a User Control.I have created a user control in which I am using
- A Label (whose text will be dynamic)
- 3 Textboxes (whose values will be also dynamic).
So far everything is working fine.Now I used this user control in a aspx page and at the page_load i have to loop thru all the instance of this user control and assign values to them and here the problem begins.The values are not being assigned to the controls.
Here is the code which i have written to loop thru User Control instances and assign values to them.

I have been using profiles to store a list of user defined clicks. A user clicks on items and it adds it to my Shopping Cart.
I have managed to enter all the info I need and see that It is there with a count but I can't pull the information back once I have entered it.
First thing I did was add code to my Web.config under System.web
[code]....
Then I created a Class called ShoppingCart.vb
[Code]...
Okay here is my VB code where I need to be able to pull the information back again.
[Code]...
So I may need to give you more information but the basics are:
I can add items to my list with btnAddS and it will update my label with the correct amount of rows (items)
Under my btnView I can iterate through the rows (items) but I can't pull back the information stored within.

I have an requirement to implement single sign on solution using SAML 2. I had a look at a tirdparty toolkit in componentspace, but I would prefer some microsoft components.
the features provided in componentspace toolkit can be done using some Microsoft .NET libraries itself. identify the microsoft way to do this?. I looked at the Windows Identity Foundation SDK, but it is now supported only for .NET 3.5. My web application is built on .NET 2.0.
Is there any alternative for Windows Identity Foundation in .NET framework 2.0?
