• Converting a C# workflow into XAML
  
  A interesting question that came up last week was how to convert workflows defined in C# to XAML. co worker of one of the attendees of the Essential Windows Workflow Foundation 4 course had been experiencing a lot of problems with the workflow designer and decided to create their workflows in C# instead of using the designer to generate XAML. Fortunately it isn’t hard to save workflow objects, however they have been authored, into their XAML representation using the XamlServices. And now I can continue enhancing the XAML version and run that instead. Enjoy!

• Loading XAML Workflows in WF4
  
  RC 1 Most of the time I used compiled workflows in Windows Workflow Foundation 4. Fortunately we can also load a workflow from the XAML file itself and execute the resulting workflow activity. This is done using the ActivityXamlServices class that will let us load the XAML file and return an activity, to be exact it returns a DynamicActivity as a wrapper around your definition. Note: This blog post is written using the.NET framework 4.0 Its nice and easy, you design the workflow, compile it and at runtime there is a.NET type you use to create and run workflows. Enjoy!

• What's New in Windows Workflow Foundation in.NET 4.5 (part 1)
  
  With WF4 I typically solve this by opening the workflow XAML in a text editor and searching the raw XML. During the last //build/ conference a number of new WF4, or should I now say WF4.5, features where announced. While the list of new features isn’t earth shattering long some of the most annoying shortcomings where addressed. Designer enhancements As a developer I spend a lot of time in the designer so any improvements there are going to make me happy. And I am very happy to see some of the new features. Auto surround with a Sequence. This seemingly small feature is a real time saver.

• 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. 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 loading or saving a workflow is easy to, all it takes is a Load() and Save() function pointing to a XAML file. Note: This blog post is written using the.NET framework 4.0 Now that is more like it! new DesignerMetadata().Register(); Again nice and easy. Sweet.

• WPF MVVM Helper Library (WPF + MVVM = testability)
  
  When MVVM came to my notice I worked on trying to completely separate the XAML side so I'll focus on those classes here. Next, in each view (XAML) you set the DataContext property to your view model, the library has a MarkupExtension to do the work for you -. < Window x : Class ="TestMvvm.MainWindow". Everything is driven off ICommand - you can bind commands to the lifetime of the view (so you can detect activation, deactivation, loading, closing) through the LifetimeEvents attached behavior: < Window x : Class ="TestMvvm.MainWindow". that I tend to use a lot.

• Part 3: Shifting focus to the first available element in WPF
  
  We've seen how to programatically control focus and that's all great stuff, but one thing I like to do with WPF is see how much of the repetitive or UI-specific code I can move into the XAML and keep out of the code behind. We can use the FocusManager.FocusedElement property to shift focus in XAML but it only works when the element exists in the main XAML file. You can try putting the focus shift into the user control but it turns out that it won't work there either - it's got to be assigned to the focus scope which is the window. but all is not lost!
