Hello,
I'm developing SharePoint 2013 workflows (on-premise) in Visual Studio 2012. But I have problems everytime I try to deploy a new version during the development process. In my case the workaround to reset the WorkflowServiceBackend (net stop/start WorkflowServiceBackend) is not working. Instead, I've to re-open Visual Studio 2012. After that I can deploy a new workflow version. it is a known issue?
