WorkFlow Foundation 101
During this session Maurice de Beijer will explain the basics of workflow foundation. We are going to take a look at the two basic types of workflows we can create. Next we are going to explore the workflow runtime and what else we need in order to use a workflow in our application. The session ends by exploring the standard workflow activities and how we can make use of them when developing workflows.

The Power of Custom Workflow Activities (Part 1)
Workflow Foundation (WF) is part of the .NET 3.0 Framework alongside Windows Communication Foundation
(WCF) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Where WCF and WPF enable new and improved ways of
doing things we have been doing for a long time, the same can’t be said for Workflow Foundation. Using
Workflow Foundation enables a developer to create a whole new style of application, the long running
and event driven application.

Workflow Foundation a la 2008
Met de release van het .NET framework 3.5 zijn er weer nieuwe mogelijkheden bijgekomen voor
Workflow Foundation ontwikkelaars. Zo is er nu eindelijk de eerder gemiste koppeling tussen
Workflow Foundation en Windows Communication Foundation. In deze sessie laat Maurice de Beijer
zien hoe deze nieuwe activiteiten gebruikt kunnen worden. Verder gaat hij in op de principes
van en Service Oriented Architecture en laat hij zien hoe Workflow Foundation in een dergelijke
SOA architectuur ingezet kan worden.

Workflow Foundation 101
Extensibility has been built into Visual Studio from its early inceptions. The great thing about
Microsoft’s foresight is that you can augment functionality of Visual Studio yourself. This article
will demonstrate how to extend the Visual Studio IDE using Visual Studio, the .NET Framework, and
the Visual Studio Add-In and automation models.

Visual Studio Tools for Office voor Visual Basic for Application ontwikkelaars
Op 6 maart heb ik een presentatie geven bij de Nationale Office Dag in Ede.
Hier zijn de slides en voorbeelden te downloaden.
- Ontwikkelen van custom workflow activiteiten
Workflow Foundation is één van de onderdelen die in het .NET 3.0 framework nieuw geïntroduceerd zijn. Met Workflow Foundation is het mogelijk om complexe, en lang lopende, zakelijke problemen op een inzichtelijke manier op te lossen. In deze sessie laat Maurice de Beijer zien waarom Workflow Foundation interessant is voor eigenlijk elke .NET ontwikkelaar.
De kracht van Workflow Foundation komt voort uit een nieuwe aanpak en die komt niet zonder een leercurve. Maurice helpt je in deze sessie alvast over de eerste horden heen. En om optimaal gebruik te kunnen maken van Workflow Foundation is het ontwikkelen van eigen Activities, de ‘componenten’ van Workflow Foundation, van groot belang.
Maurice laat zien hoe Activities ontwikkeld moeten worden en presenteert in deze sessie een aantal basisregels er voor. Door gebruik te maken van deze regels wordt het ontwikkelen van Activities echter een stuk eenvoudiger.

- Data synchronization met de Sync Services for ADO.NET.
Smart clients met offline data worden steeds populairder maar hoe zorg je dat deze data, en eventuele wijzigingen, zo goed mogelijk met de server gesynchroniseerd worden. Een van de hulpmiddelen hiervoor is de Sync Services for ADO.NET library. Met behulp van deze Sync Services for ADO.NET library is het gemakkelijk om data te synchroniseren. Maar er zijn meer opties, zo kan men ook gebruik maken van Merge Replicatie of Remote Data Access. Wat nu te kiezen en waar schieten de verschillende opties tekort. Is er überhaupt wel een methode die de lading helemaal dekt? In deze sessie geeft Maurice de Beijer uitleg over de voor en nadelen van de verschillende methodes en tips om het onderste uit de kan te halen.

- Database Concurrency Conflicts in the Real World
A lot of articles have been written about database concurrency conflict
detection and the various ways of handling them. Unfortunately most of these
articles, and accompanying solutions, have one major flaw in that they focus on
the technical issues and database implementation instead of real-world data and
how people use the data. In this article, I will try to show the difference
between focusing on the database implementation and on the real-world data. I
will show some possible approaches on how to solve these concurrency issues.

- SQL Express versus SQL Mobile
During the SDC I gave a presentation about SQL Express versus SQL Mobile, or to be more accurate actually SQL Everywhere.
- Visual Basic or C#
Next week Frans Bouma and myself will be presenting a session on the question on everyone's mind: should I use VB or C# when developing a .NET application. Frans is a C# MVP and will take care of that side of the table while I as an VB MVP will try to convince him that VB is the better tool :-)
We are actually going to do the same session twice next week. The first time is Thursday march 23 with the dotNed usersgroup, see
http://www.dotned.nl/ for more details. The second time is Friday march the 24th at the SDN meeting in Ede, see
http://www.sdn.nl/ for more details on that meeting.
Both sessions should be a lot of fun so I hope to see you there.

- Developing and Debugging Visual FoxPro COM servers
Debugging an ASP COM server build in Visual FoxPro has long been considered impossible but is this really the case? In this article we explore a technique that makes debugging COM servers in the Visual FoxPro development environment possible. An added bonus to this approach is that you no longer need to rebuild the COM server every time you change it’s source code as the new source code is immediately visible and executed. All of this results in a huge boost in productivity and makes ASP development more fun and less tedious.

This article describes how you can use Regular Expressions to manipulate and search text far beyond the capabilities of the standard Visual FoxPro functions.
