Sorry no response so I'm posting again.the senario is as such:- I have a generalized event for all workflows in my system say 'GeneralEvent'- inherited from this 'GeneralEvent' I have a child event say 'ForwardEvent'- in my workflow I define a HandleExternalEvent activity and set it to accept 'GeneralEvent'- from my application if I send a 'ForwardEvent' to this workflow I receive an unable to deliver exceptionFYI
: I presume in the runtime you only look for 'GeneralEvent' to
"rehydrate" the workflow so getting anything else you give an
exception. I propose "issubclassof" on events fired into the runtime
instead of "equal"

What exactly do you mean by "inherited from this 'GeneralEvent' I have a child event say 'ForwardEvent'"?
When you set the InterfaceType of HandleExternalEventActivity, it listens for events on that specific interface.  If you need different behavior, you can definitely right a customized messaging activity with its corresponding service.

I'm surprised, this is the most basic tenant of OO programming namely you expect the followingChildEvent : BaseEvent : EventArghandler(object sender, EventArg evnt); // definehandler(null, new ChildEvent()); // callthis does not work in WF because it seems the runtime only looks for the 'EventArg' type to rehydrate an instance (defined in the construct).yes I can write a work around but it defeats the purpose of the whole excersise.
