Hey guys, I'm toying around with WCF Workflow Services and I've run into a snag with using CSLA objects.

I've got a business layer generated with CodeSmith that contains an Account editable root object.
The service has a Recieve task that accepts accountID. I want to use the accountID to see if a record exists for it. Any idea how this is done in WF?

My first guess was to define a variable of type Account and use an InvokeMethod operation to call the factory method passing the accountID. However, as soon as I try to create a variable of type Account I get a message box telling me "The selected type could not be created".

I even when into the generated code and made the constructor public just for grins and I get the same error.

Have any of you experienced this? What was the fix?
Thanks,
Will

This can be ignored. I'm not sure what the issue is but I got to work and tried a similar scenario using a different generated business layer and I can indeed use CSLA objects in the Workflow Service. Has to be some configuration with my other project.

Hello,

I think Rocky is on vacation... I'm not that familiar with Workflow Service but I'll take a look. Can you please attach or email me your sample repro solution and database script for this table and I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks
