Visual Studio visualizers are pretty cool and can help you quite a bit when debugging but you need to develop them and that just ads to the workload. So how about having someone else do it? Well Microsoft added a few visualizers to VS2008 and VS2008 but...
The new ReceiveActivity and SendActivity that marry Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) are really cool . Getting started is easy because a new Sequential Workflow Service Library, found under WCF instead of Workflow...
In a previous blog post I showed how to use the ReceiveActivity with long running workflow and how to extract the workflow instanceId from the context using the IContextManager. I also showed how to rebuild this context at a later date when you use a...
In my last post I showed how to self host the workflow runtime and still be able to use a Windows Communication Foundation and ReceiveActivity. Hosting the workflow runtime in a WorkflowServiceHost is nice but in all likelihood you will also need to configure...
One of the new, and pretty cool, Windows Workflow Foundation features is the ReceiveActivity that unleashes the power of Windows Communication Foundation to Windows Workflow Foundation. Getting started with a ReceiveActivity is quite simple as long as...

Looking for more information about VS2008 and .NET 3.5? I suspect you might just be as there is a ton of new functionality and with the pace of everything coming out it isn't likely that you know it all To help learn the new stuff Microsoft has put...
Using a ReceiveActivity is a great way of exposing a workflow via a WCF proxy. Get started by creating a new project based upon "Sequential Workflow Service Library". This is found in the WCF projects node instead of the Worflow projects node...
We are just finished with the last day of the 2007 Microsoft DevDays and looking back it would say it was a was a great success. Lots of people, from what I hear almost 25% more than last year, attended and from what I heard most where more than happy...
I actually missed the release or the WCF activities for windows workflow a few weeks back but Marcel de Vries did a demo yesterday as part of his presentation at the SDE meeting. And I must say its an impressive piece of work that includes the whole enchilada...
Talking about conferences we pretty much finalized the session schedule for the SDC this year as well. And the session schedule is even more impressive as last year. We are holding back on publishing it for a bit longer until we have confirmation from...
If have Dutch language users of your applications and you want to localize the installer packages Visual Studio 2005 produces you might want to check out Willem van den Broek work. He created a complete translation so all you have to do is set the Localization...
The first Dutch Code Camp was held yesterday in Barneveld. With lots of people showing up there was a real nice vibe and all I can say is it was a smashing success. Lots of people wanted to know when we would organize the next one; someone even went so...
Het is al bijna zover, nog minder dan twee weken en het eerste Nederlandse Code Camp is een feit. Alles tot nu toe wijst erop dat het een groot succes gaat worden. Zo was er een fors overschot aan potentiele sprekers en hebben we een mooi en divers programma...

Sander Gerz just posted here that he has been re-awarded as an MVP for another year. Good to here because he is certainly part of the active crowed over here. In fact he is one of the people helping to organize the 1st Dutch .NET Code Camp, see here ...
If you read this post by Paul Andrew you can see we are getting an invitation to come to Microsoft for some additional training. Well it sounds interesting but I guess I won’t be crossing the ocean for this one. But it’s a pity that these kind of event...
One of the things I always disliked is that unit testing was only available in the enterprise VS2005 SKU, just like professional developers don't need or use unit testing. Yeah right, that is one of the hallmarks of a professional coder is you ask me...
So I have been a bit quite these last few weeks. Well a small side trip to Rome was part of the reason . This is a HDR picture taken at night in the Forum. The picture is actually created from three small JPEG's I will redo it with the original RAW images...
