I am continuing my Virtual Lab Series. I have recently went throuhg a good virtual lab on integrating Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) with Windows WorkFlow Foundation (WF).

Event Overview 

  • The purpose of this lab is to illustrate how Workflow Foundation (WF) workflows can interoperate with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services using Visual Studio 2008. As we progress through this lab, we will also have an opportunity to examine new language features in Visual Basic and productivity features in Visual Studio 2008.
     
  • With the release of Visual Studio 2008 comes new functionality that enables Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) and WCF to interoperate seamlessly together.
     
  • This lab has been built in Visual Basic and will also serve as an introduction into some of the language’s new features.

I am continuing my Webcast Series. I have recently watch a few good webcasts on Windows WorkFlow Foundation (WF). The first webcast gives an overview of WF and how it can interact with your environment. The second webcast gives an overview of the Workflow Foundation tools in Visual Studio 2008.

Webcast Links:

  • Overview - Join this webcast where you are introduced to Windows Workflow Foundation by examining, modifying, and extending the workflow components of the DinnerNow sample solution. Learn to create custom activities, manage workflow persistence and tracking, and take some time to understand how Windows Workflow Foundation was applied in this application.
  • Workflow Foundation Tools in Visual Studio 2008 - Take a brief look at why WF is cool and how Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 makes writing WF applications even cooler.
