        How do you get the Orchestration ServiceInstanceId (GUID) in an expression shape inside the orchestration?

        something like this?

        strMyServiceInstanceID = BTS.orchest….
        or the likes? I don’t know the object or property name.

            We reported this problem to Microsoft, here is their solution:

            strProcessId = System.Convert.ToString
            (YourOrchestrationName
            (Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.InstanceId));

            YourOrchestrationName is the TypeName found in the Orchestration Properties.

            This has not caused the \”stupid\” problem of the compile errors and having to touch the shape, and move it.

                Neal,

                Try adding a reference to Microsoft.XLANGs.Engine.dll, and then try on the expression shape:
                Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.Service.RootService.InstanceId

                I think that’s the one you’re looking for (though there are a few other properties that might be interesting on the service).

              Here is some additional info: http://geekswithblogs.net/sthomas/archive/2004/09/20/11424.aspx

              I never added a reference to the Engine.dll. But I have always had problems getting his to work. Sometimes, I’ll get a build error for no reason. Maybe adding that reference would fix that.
