Release Notes
Cannot select overloaded
method names on CallExternalMethodActivity
If
you have two or more methods on a CallExternalMethodActivity
activity with the same name but different parameters, you will be unable to
select unique versions of the methods in the dropdown in the workflow designer.
Any overloaded method you select will automatically default to the first method
defined in your activity. Use unique method names to avoid this problem.
Workflow debugging with T-SQL not supported
You
should not debug your workflow with both the workflow debugging and T-SQL
debugging enabled or unexpected results could occur.
Full installation of Visual Studio 2005 is needed for remote
debugging
You
must have a full installation of Visual Studio 2005 on a remote machine to
enable remote workflow debugging or you will receive an error when trying to
attach to the remote process.
RuleCondition Editor crashes when nested type has same name
as namespace
When
a nested type has the same name as an enclosing namespace, the RuleCondition editor will crash while trying to discover
all the type and namespace information.
To avoid this issue, rename the nested type to something other than the name
used for the namespace.
Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation help
is not visible in Visual Studio 2005 after installing SQL Server 2005
