Yeah, I've been waiting for SP.SE for a long time now. I'm knee-deep in setting up a SP2010 install for my company right now and I've got a lot of little nagging questions.
I've got VS2010 on my machine and as soon as I can double my RAM and get a license for Win7 Pro x64 I'm going to set up the SP Dev Environment so I can start building my own webparts.
All of my workflow actions are junked up... they each live in their own Namespace and THEN their own class... I had a hard time getting them working when I first started messing with it and that was the only way I could get it to work.
@KitMenke Were you asking me? Because my SP install is on a Win Server 2008 R2 virtual box. I'm going to have to set up the dev environment on my personal workstation.
BTW these chat conversations become a lot easier to follow if we all use the reply arrows :)
My workflow actions are all in the same dll - which is stupid, but easier for me to code. Of course, I also have a dummy dll used just for the deployment since I am using VSSEWSS. I wish there was an easy way to add a dependency on a class library that would deploy if missing, but NOT retract if others are dependent on it. Learned that one the hard way
@theChrisKent Yeah all of my actions/conditions are in the same DLL too. I have a static class in there too that I put all the shared functions in (ex: logging to history list).
@KitMenke We're actually migrating all of our servers to VMs (using VSphere) and this SharePoint install I'm dealing with is brand new for us. It's replacing an aging and open-source intranet and most of our file server.
