Summary

In the past, raising events and communicating from the outside into a running workflow was difficult to understand and to manage. With .NET 3.5, though, Microsoft has blurred the lines between Windows Communication Foundation and Workflow Foundation, giving you the same great homogeneous communication model with workflow as you do a WCF service.

In this presentation you will learn:

• How to implement a WCF service declaratively, using WF
• How to create long-running operations that could span weeks, months, or years
• New bindings in WCF for use in and out of WF
• Tips to make sure your transition to .NET 4.0 WF is painless
