APPLIES TO

  • Windows Workflow Foundation



SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation, you start to type an expression in the Rule Condition Editor. The Microsoft IntelliSense list appears, and you press the EQUAL SIGN (=) key to select the expression in the IntelliSense list. In this scenario, the selection in the IntelliSense list is not entered in the Conditions box.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Rule Condition Editor does not use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 IntelliSense. Therefore, the IntelliSense settings do not apply to the Rule Condition Editor.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, press ENTER to select the expression in the IntelliSense list.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
