iMotion 5.2, Visual Studio 2005 Project Item Template Snafu
(Indexed 2007-02-02):
A business partner using Visual Studio 2005 developing workflow components emailed me through here, so I figured I'd post the answer.Problem:When you use one of the iMotion project item templates in Visual Studio 2005, it will product the wrong language code. A C# project will create VB.NET code and vice versa.Cause:There is a bug in the installer where the registry keys used to install templates into Visual Studio are reversed (causing the language switch).Solution:Log onto DevHelp (http://devh...(truncated)...

Unusual IE7b3 bug: SYSTEM applications cannot start programs using Process.Start (part 2)
(Indexed 2006-09-18):
Since I originally posted this in July, I've gotten absolutely nowhere with Microsoft. I have, however, had a couple hundred google searches for things like “IE7 beta process.start error“. Since then my bug was closed, someone else reopened it, and I've found another similar bug where the IE7 beta and RC take over shell execute and deny programs from being launched.Luckily for me, our workaround was to simply not use the shell (ShellExecute=false) but that definitely isn't an option ...(truncated)...
Unusual IE7b3 bug: SYSTEM applications cannot start programs using Process.Start
(Indexed 2006-07-03):
So I've come across a real interesting side-effect of the IE7 Beta 3 install. A program running as SYSTEM under .NET 1.1 (either as a Windows service or as a scheduled task) cannot start a process using the Process.Start method. It fails with a Win32Exception (”Access is denied”).A SYSTEM program gets an access denied error? That's an awfully strange effect of a browser update, don't you think? To get this sample program to run as SYSTEM, create a scheduled task and specify SYSTEM as...(truncated)...
iMotion Edgeware Platform 5.2: Workflow Service Providers
(Indexed 2006-06-30):
A link between event controls in the iMotion Edgeware Platform represents the flow of data in the form of an event and delivered through a method invocation and is the primary way for event controls to talk to each other. This in-band communication may not always be the most appropriate way for one event control to execute another event control and an out-of-band method of communication may be more appropriate....

What do you do when the "owner" of a project get hits by a bus
(Indexed 2006-02-06):
I can't even remotely explain how important I feel the "hit by a bus and now we don't have any who knows [x]" behavior in companies is (or rather, the lack of said behavior). I think it's just a common behavior when you have a single person work from start to finish on a given section of a software application: you have the guy who wrote the interface, the girl who wrote the server application, the guy who built the installer. Ask one of them to take over for someone else during a vacation perio...(truncated)...
Application Level Events (ALE) In A Nutshell

You just knew it had to be coming: ASP.NET project in VS2005 is back
(Indexed 2005-12-08):
Scott Guthrie is posting that they're developing a new project type for ASP.NET projects in Visual Studio 2005. I still have no idea why that crackpot (note, "crackpot" is meant to be funny) thought that removing the concept of a project from ASP.NET would sit well with people who had been creating ASP.NET applications for four or more years (with another year for betas).Enough people have complained publicly about it (I have, though not very vocally) that they're putting it back in. And I don't...(truncated)...
