Dear all,

The HelpDeskSupport sample was in the SDK up until Beta 2.2, but it seems to have vanished. It looks like it exists on the web, but the links to the source code from the documentation are broken.

I used it to obtain classes for "simple" communication between asp.net and a state machine workflow. This seemed to work ok, so I didn't look into it to any degree, but under RC1, using manual scheduling, it crashes because the communication interface uses a class global static to keep track of the DataPipeList and this does not persist across re-starts.

The idea of a class that abstracts to data pipes with defined message formats is a good one, although the implementation of it here is a bit clumsy.

Is there a sample app that works with RC1/CTP5 which supports such a communication mechanism? I can't seem to find one, which is surprising.

Please let me know if you know where to find one.

Thanks in advance.

Hi WF Team??

Dear jreniz,

As you can see, I asked this question on 18th September, and got absolutely no response.

I did discover that the communication classes in the sample didn't work at all well with a persisting state machine workflow, and have accordingly modified them so that they do work properly.

I suspect that the sample was withdrawn because it doesn't actually work properly!

Hi Trevor,

I can see. That sample was completely withdrawn.

So, can you share with me your modified HelpDeskSupport sample, using the same architecture described in MSDN?

Thanks in advance.

Dear jreniz,

This might be a daft question, but is there a place to upload a zip file of code to, such that I can refer you to where to download it from?
