Loading XAML Workflows in WF4
RC 1 Most of the time I used compiled workflows in Windows Workflow Foundation 4. Its nice and easy, you design the workflow, compile it and at runtime there is a .NET NET type you use to create and run workflows. The main drawback is that this approach isn’t very flexible, Note: This blog post is written using the .NET NET framework 4.0

TryCatch activity in WF4
I can’t say I am a fan of the way the TryCatch activity is implemented in Windows Workflow Foundation 4. For starters there is a Finally block where you can add some activities you want to execute. In fact you can just use a try/finally and it will work just fine. With WF4 this is not the case though The finally activity will only execute if the try block or one of the catch blocks completes. Sounds nice and very much like the try/catch/finally code construct we have in C# or Visual Basic. Except that it behaves in a subtlety different way.

Flowcharts in Workflow 4 and the Switch activity
Flowcharts are a nice addition to Windows Workflow Foundation 4. They allow for a lot of pretty complex behavior that is hard to do in a sequential workflow. In WF 3 we used to model these complex behaviors as state machine workflows. That worked but they weren't really state machines or event driven and things could get a bit tricky. Enter the No it is just another activity to drop in a workflow. So you are free to combine sequential work with a flowchart in one workflow.

Rehosting the Workflow Designer in WF4
Beta 2 With Windows Workflow Foundation 3 it was possible to rehost the workflow designer in your own application. But possible is about all there was to say about it as it was pretty hard to do anything beyond the basics. With Windows Workflow Foundation 4 live has become much better on the rehosting front In fact it is possible to create the fully functional and useful workflow editor below in about 200 lines of code. And Note: This blog post is written using the .NET NET framework 4.0

Getting started with Windows Workflow Foundation 4
As you may have heard Windows Workflow Foundation 4 is not an upgrade from Windows Workflow Foundation 3 (or 3.5). In fact Windows Workflow Foundation 3 was the first version and 3.5 And as WF 4 is a complete rewrite we should approach it as a new product and forget just about everything we already know about WF 3. That might be a bit surprising, after all we still have activities and a workflow runtime right? Well wrong actually! There The version numbers might suggest that the previous version was quite mature but in fact it refers to the version of the .NET

The new Windows Workflow Foundation 4 runtime
With WF3 there was a central workflow runtime environment called the WorkflowRuntime and used to manage the lifetime of workflow instances. In WF4 this central class no longer exists and we manage individual workflows. To compare the two, this is what a minimal console application looks like in WF3. It basically runs a workflow and prints a message when done: static void Main( string [] args)
{ quot; );
};
WorkflowInstance instance = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow( typeof (WorkflowConsoleApplication1.Workflow1));
instance.Start();
Console.WriteLine( "Waiting for the workflow to complete."

Creating complex activities in the workflow designer
In Windows Workflow Foundation 4 there are a number of “activities” in the designer that aren’t really activities but activity templates. The most obvious of there are the ReceiveAndSendReply and the SendAndReceiveReply in the Messaging section of the toolbox. If you search for either of these activities you are not going to find them. Their real name is ReceiveAndSendReplyFactory and SendAndReceiveReplyFactory This interface is simple and consists of a single Create function that returns the activity to be added to the workflow.
