Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get some feedback from a workflow for debugging? I am wanting to check the values of some data fields at a certain point, and I can't seem to output to the event log or to text files during the workflow process.

I've done a few guides


one that involves breakpoint debugging in VS 2005

You can get some information on datafields by drilling down into the built-in process overview report without writing any code.

You should be able to output to text files in server code events - where were you trying to output the files?

Yeah this is true, however I don't find it the most intuitive way to debug... I'm not patient enough... I want to know the problem now! :-)

Yeah I hear ya Martin, I was just trying to diagnose the problem with outputting to files - I'm wondering why he can't.

The first place i'd look would be in the <driveletter>/K2 [blackpearl]/HostServer/bin/ folder for the logs, that would be a good indication if there was any underlying issue.
