Using Windows Workflow with Web Services, Custom Activities, etc.
I recently spoke at the Dallas .NET User Group on Windows Workflow Foundation. The demos I did, while fairly simple and high level, did show a number of interesting features in the Beta 2 version of Windows Workflow including:
- Publishing a Sequential Workflow as a Web Service
- Invoking a Web Service
- Policies and Rules
- Custom Activities with Validation and Designers
- Using WinWF Code Snippets in Visual Studio
You can download the entire presentation including PowerPoint slides, the completed demos, and the demo script I used during the presentation. Note that the state based workflow is just Lab 4 from the new WinWF labs available on http://www.windowsworkflow.net/.
