Workflow and Host Communication in WF 4.0–Parameter Passing(sankarsan.wordpress.com)

submitted by sankarsan(460) 1 month, 20 days ago

Workflow host is an application responsible for executing the workflow and managing different workflow lifecycle events like start, completion, idle, unloaded etc.Now the workflow host should be capable of exchanging information with the workflow. This information exchange can be broadly categorized into: a) The parameters/arguments needed to start the workflow and to get the results back after workflow has executed. b) The intermediate data needs at different stages of a long running workflow (e.g. when the workflow is waiting for a specific input like Manager’s Approval). In this post we will concentrate on the different mechanisms of parameter passing and getting results back. In the subsequent posts we will move into more complex scenarios related to long running workflows. read more...

Easy embed workflow in your application(blogs.securancy.com)

submitted by SickDotNet(200) 3 years, 3 months ago

Whilst enterprise architectures mostly focus on BizTalk as a standalone server, WF is meant to be a more core-based addition for embedding within application. Embedding is not always as intuitive as it should be, though. To this end, I’ve created the following self-titled "WorkflowExecutive" helper class. It allows you to easily start any referenced Workflow, pass along parameters to it and handle exceptions. read more...

Ruurd Boeke Enterprise development and technobabble - Workflow as cont(sitechno.com)

submitted by bradygaster(4897) 4 years, 3 months ago

In this post and a few upcoming posts, I would like to present a solution I have built using Workflow as the controller for your WPF applications. I wish I could call it a framework and think of a great name for it, but it does not aim to solve all your UI-building problems in one go. It does however offer a very easy way to build a loosely coupled application, driven by WF and could be used to build upon for your own solution. read more...

Part 2 - Leveraging Workflow Foundation - Invest in the Infrastructure(keithelder.net)

submitted by TheElder(490) 5 years ago

In Part 1 of Leveraging Workflow Foundation we discussed how Workflow Foundation is just an API. Since APIs don't provide business value out of the box, it is important engineers exploring Workflow Foundation for the first time approach it in the same manner they would any API: write once, run everywhere. In other words, instead of building out the workflow components for one application, look at it from the 10,000 feet view. This is of course going to take more time than one might originally think so be sure to allow for this in development time. We'll look at the basics engineers starting with Workflow Foundation will need to think about to invest in their workflow infrastructure. Who knows, we may even find some rusty washers and shinny pennies along the way. read more...

Part 1 - Leveraging Workflow Foundation - It is just an API(keithelder.net)

submitted by TheElder(490) 5 years ago

To help you limit the amount of rusty washers you will run into with Workflow Foundation, I wanted to share our team's experience in working through Workflow. In this multiple part series we'll look at some of the challenges the team faced and how we solved some of these. I say "some" of these because we took side steps around the rusty washers we found due to our short time frame. Hopefully this brain dump of information will save others time who are about to start using Workflow Foundation. I'll cover some of the in and outs where you will want to look into workflow and some of the pitfalls we had to work around (the rusty washers). read more...
