It's been a while since I've posted anything on this blog. I've been busy moving jobs (which also meant that I've had to brush up on my c#), working on DotNetNuke, and various other bits and pieces.Another reason for the lack of posting, was that I was also suffering a bit from beta overload. These days trying to keep up with the avalanches of CTP's, alphas, betas and RC's is virtually a fulltime job in itself. Now things have settled a bit, i thought I'd dust off this blog.
Recently one of the areas I've been working on most is Windows Workflow foundation. Workflow is an area we're looking at for a future DotNetNuke version, so I checked out the WF bits when they first came out. Sadly, as WF requires full trust code access security (as does WCF - can anyone explain to me why Microsoft made 2/3 of .net 3.0 incompatible with their recommended trust level setup of hosting providers?), we can't use it, as we support medium trust,but aside from that I liked what I saw so have been working away steadily on it. As it's still a little bit off official release, I had to steer through a minefield of helloworld activities and articles with the same workflows (helpdesk anyone?), to find the bits that work, but for anyone coming fresh to this area, theres now some good, free training on WF and the other .net 3.0 components on the Microsoft e-learning site - they're only free for another while.
