Hi,
I am running a workflow based job for 100's of times. For every cycle I am building the workflow with approx 1000 activities. When I can ApplyWorkflowChanges() it takes 68 secs. But When I run the application from Visual Studio it takes more then 10 minutes.
But both the cases I am running in release mode.
In addition, after running of 60 to 70 cycles all the time my application is crashing inside ApplyWorkFlowchanges() method. Inside visual studio output window, I am getting error code as 0x01 (Some .NET internal error). So what is causing the application
crash.
workflowInstance = WorkflowManager.Instance.WorkflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(MyDynamicWorkflow));
Activity objRootComposite = workflowInstance.GetWorkflowDefinition();
WorkflowChanges wf = new WorkflowChanges(objRootComposite);
// setting the active workflow instance to the Manager.
WorkflowManager.Instance.ActiveWorkflowInstance = workflowInstance;
// Add the activity associated with "this" agent
wf.TransientWorkflow.Activities.Add(_activityAgentWorkflowParent);
//some other activities are added.
workflowInstance.ApplyWorkflowChanges(wf); <--- My Application crashing here.
Thanks in advance.
