Hi anderskj1,

Maybe you ca advise me. I have downloaed some sample code but none are any way similar to what I want to do.

I want to implement a WorkFlow in ASP.NET using Windows Workflow Foundation.

I have a Web Form where user 1 fills in the form and submits it.

This form and the saved data is then sent to user 1's boss who reviews the data and submits the Web Form to his boss and so on and on until it goes to the top of the Organisation where it is finally approved or rejected.

Each time the form is subnitted an email is sent to the next person on the Organisation hierarchy letting them know that the Web Form is awaiting their approval.

I want to be able to implement this in the Process Designer.

Do you know of any examples out there that do something similar?

I was going to use AD to indicate in the Workflow which user gets an email etc.

(Note: I have'nt used WWF yet)

Thanks in Advance.

You should be able to use the ActiveDirectoryRole/ActiveDirectoryRoleFactory classes in System.workflow.Activities to get the manager for the current user. From the ExternalDataEventArgs, or a derived class, you should be able to get the identity of hte current user and then use that to create an ActiveDirectoryRole (not very intuitive naming I know) which will give you the method to get the manager.

I'd create a simple activity called GetManager that uses an input of the user identity and then has a dependency property for the manager. Your execute method would be where you do the lookup.
