Workflow 4 and soap faults
RC 1 Using the ReceiveAndSendReply activity template and the WorkflowServiceHost it is easy to create a workflow service. Other applications can communicate with the workflow just as if it is a regular WCF service, they never need to know the difference. Turns out there is no property anywhere to specify anything about a possible fault being returned. The exception is send to the client as a soap fault and the client, assuming.NET here, can catch it as a FaultException. How about a FaultException ? Next create a variable to hold the fault information.

Trackable DTO’s: Taking N-Tier a Step Further with EF4
While STE’s are placed in an assembly that does not reference the Entity Framework, the way in which change state is preserved in an STE is overly complex because it tries make it easier for EF to transmit those changes to the ObjectStateManager on the service side. Requiring a Java client to implement all that is asking an awful lot, and it couples the client too tightly to the service implementation. The beauty of this approach is that it allows multiple changes to be sent to a service in a single round trip, where they can all be saved in a single transaction.

  • T4 POCO Templates for L2S and EF
    How’s that for an alphabet soup of acronyms?!) The point here is that the DAL truly encapsulates the API you’re using to fetch and update data, which makes it possible to swap out one data access stack for another without breaking the client. Having said all that, what tools are available to automatically generate POCO entities from the database? However, after searching for a few hours, I could not find any templates to generate POCOs. There were templates galore for various frameworks, such as n-tiers, NHibernate, CSLA, and PLINKO.

  • Focusing on WPF: How to deal with Focus() in the WPF world
    Recently I was involved in a project where we needed to build a multi-step input application where each step showed progress and you could proceed forward and backward through the pages. looked at the Navigation support in WPF (which is nice) but ultimately decided to model it around a styled TabControl – each page being a tab and the progress noted through the custom TabItem visuals across the top. Those that are new to WPF might be surprised that it does not assign initial focus to any particular child control – you must deliberately click or tab into a control to give it focus.

  • EF 4.0 N-Tier Support: Take 2
    which includes enhancements to self-tracking entities. As the name implies, self-tracking entities know how to track their own state , so that it can be transmitted across service boundaries in an n-tier application. The idea is similar to what we’ve been able to do for several years with datasets. Datasets know how to keep track of their change-state and the table adapter knows how to inspect a dataset to generate insert, update and delete statements. The reason is that T4 templates are totally open-source.

  • Creating complex activities in the workflow designer
    In Windows Workflow Foundation 4 there are a number of “activities” in the designer that aren’t really activities but activity templates. If you search for either of these activities you are not going to find them. Their real name is ReceiveAndSendReplyFactory and SendAndReceiveReplyFactory respectively and they aren’t activities but activity templates. So how to create an activity template? This interface is simple and consists of a single Create function that returns the activity to be added to the workflow. So what does that look like?

  • WPF Data Providers
    It ships with two out of the box: ObjectDataProvider: allows you to execute binding expressions against an object and it's methods. side note here is that you could write your own custom data provider if you needed to, although if the data is exposed through a.NET object, then the ObjectDataProvider is probably sufficient. However, this is the 21st century and so we want to avoid coding as much as we can and utilize the underlying framework support instead! In this case, we want to see everything under the node "taxrecords" which is the root of the document.
