I guess I should be flattered

That some spammer thought my wiki pages where hit enough to warrant modifying them on a daily basis with links to various "odd" sites

Thanks to Craig I've upgraded to FlexWiki 2.0 and now those pages are locked down - I apologize if you've visited them and they haven't been right,  should be ok from now on.

Silverlight calling Workflow Services

One question I was asked during my web cast yesterday about calling WCF services from Silverlight is if the service could be a workflow service.  I said - "Of course" - not knowing that it was a little more complex than that :)

That said - here is a sample.

SilverLightUsingWorkflow.zip (535.08 KB)

Unfortunately I don't have time to go into the details right now - working on another project at the moment. The key to making it work is setting the instanceid context to null on the server when the "last" operation is called - in this case the operation implemented inside of the eventhandler which causes this state-machine workflow to move to the completed state (so that the client can then start a new workflow).

I hope to find an more elegant and automatic solution - but this works for now (Hope you are listening Jason from the webcast - this ones for you )

Article about WF/WCF integration

I guess this is the week for my articles to go online :)  Now my WF/WCF integration article is on MSDN.  Hope you find it helpful.
