Pageflow Sample Update

  • Article

Updated to version 1.1

Changes

  • Corrected the install to display the EULA at a more opportune time (thanks to this comment)
  • Updated to fix the exception being thrown at the completion of a workflow
    • NavigationManager.cs
    • AspUserInput.cs
    • WebHostingModule.cs

To install this, download the bits (same location), uninstall the existing version and install this version.

Other Setup Notes

I got a few pieces of feedback on the setup to get things working, here are some hints to get up and running:

  • If you extract the samples.zip file in the install directory (Program Files\Windows Workflow Foundation Samples\...) they may be marked as read-only.  Mark the whole directory as non-read-only (so you can write) and then you will be able to compile successfully.
  • To run the sample, you need to set up a persistence database, this will be used to store the state of the workflow while we are not interacting with it
    • Then go into the App.config or web.config and find the ConnectionString settings and update it to point to the correct database.  On most default VS installs, you can point at localhost\sqlexpress, but it can certainly be any sql install.

Other Notes

For the folks using WCSF, Glenn has a good summary that fills in some of the story on the WCSF side, and sneaks an Eminem reference into the title :-)
