ASPX Controls for [blackpearl]

A library of custom controls that can be used to workflow-enable nearly any ASPX page with little or no coding. The submit control encapsulates many features that developers normally repetitively code on each web page.  Once connected to the workflow server, the control will automatically display all actions defined for the activity.  The user can then choose an appropriate action and submit, with no code required by the developer.  Page-to-page flow (without making the user go back to the worklist) can easily be enabled by using metadata in the workflow process.   Pageflow allows you to build a set of pages that will be presented to a user in a sequence determined by the workflow to gather information in a wizard-like fashion.

Service Object Generation Engine (SOGE) Visual Stu

K2 [blackpearl] AJAX, ASP.net API Example

A fully functional Microsoft AJAX and ASP.net enabled application which shows how to interact with K2 [blackpearl] via the API's. API’s demonstrated are:

• Process Management API

• Reporting via Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (“SSRS”)

• SmartObjects with a dynamic user interface based on the entity meta-data. This caters for associations and validation



All K2 specific code has been relocated to a helper class called Common which manages connections and builds dynamic interfaces. This class has been designed to be added to subsequent projects along with its supporting javascript file and stylesheet.

Custom Event Wizard Example

A fully functional custom event wizard for use in Visio and Visual Studio when designing K2 processes. This wizard provides generic form capability and integrates with the K2 API Example site's GenericForm.aspx to provide a single form which is driven by the wizard settings for displaying K2 process data and interactions.



In short, allows you to have a single ASP.net form which is controlled using an XML schema to form the UI for all processes.

ServiceObject GUID Updater

When a SmartObject is created it is bound to the GUID of the underlying ServiceObject instance for that specific environment.  This binding exists within the SmartObject file (.sodx).   When the SmartObject file is moved to a different environment this ServiceObject Instance GUID is no longer valid and thus the SmartObject effectively loses its binding to the underlying ServiceObject instance.

This utility attempts to alleviate this issue by converting the ServiceObject instance GUIDs in the SmartObject file.  This utility requires the underlying ServiceObject instances to be created and configured with identical names between environments.

In the example provided this document ‘Dynamic SQL Service” and  ‘Web Service’ ServiceObject instances have been created.  Each must have an identical ServiceObject instance name in both environments; however the actual non-name configurations may point to different backend systems.  The requirement to name them identically is to permit this utility to match the GUIDs be

Custom Event Wizard Example: Change InfoPath View

A custom event wizard that that allows you to change the current view of an InfoPath form without using a client event.  This is useful when you want save the form to an archive, but want a particular view to be used when it is opened. 



This example comes with complete source code, or you can just run the setup program to add it to your Visual Studio toolbox.  The source code also includes an installer that modifies the appropriate config files to put the wizard in the toolbox.  After running the installer, right-click on the toolbox and select "Reset Toolbox" to get the wizard to show in the toolbox.



The wizard was developed using the technical article http://www.k2underground.com/files/folders/technical_product_documents/entry21896.aspx found here on k2underground.  The idea for this event wizard came from a blog post by one of our K2Insiders,  Jason.  He posted the code for a server event on his blog (http://k2distillery.blogspot.com/) that showed how to switch InfoPath Views.  Since this seems to be a

Dynamic Web Service SmartObject Service

This is a SmartObject Service which supports web services. User specifies the web service URL and the service builds itself dynamically. It is similar to the Dynamic SmartObject Service Seb wrote, except for web services instead of databases. The service supports web methods which return void, value type/string and value type/string arrays, as well as custom objects and custom object arrays. Unsupported return types: object, object[], ArrayList (or really any kind of ICollection), DataTables, DataSet, etc. (basically the rule is if we can't know the actual specification of what is being returned ahead of time then it isn't supported). This may be improved in the future via a mapping file or something.



One ServiceObject is created per WebMethod and each parameter is exposed as a property. In the case of value type returns, a single return property is used. In the case of custom object returns, the object's public properties are iterated through and each one that is a value type/string is added as a return.

Outlook Integrated Ticket Tracker Demo

This is a Ticket System demo that uses an outlook addin to kick off a K2 process for a particular email and then all addidional emails in that thread will be monitored and update a sharepoint list. There is a video of the demo in the zip file as well as the K2 solution and the code for the outlook addin.

Amazing K2 SmartObject

This is a tool that allows users to view service objects, build and execute smartobjects. It was developed by Janus (one of the brains behind smartobjects in the k2 product team) and I begged him to compile it so i can publish it for him on blackmarket for other people to use. I use this every day, you can even run methods from smartobjects. Very very cool…
