 Chapter 1: A Quick Tour of Windows Workflow Foundation - This chapter provides a brief introduction to WF. In this chapter, you jump right in and develop your first workflow (“Hello Workflow”). Chapter 2: Foundation Overview - The goal of this chapter is to provide a high-level overview of WF in its entirety. This chapter doesn’t teach you how to use each individual WF feature, but it does acquaint you with the design time and runtime features that are available with WF. Chapter 3: Activities - Activities are the building blocks of WF and are used to construct complete workflows. This chapter provides a summary of the standard activities that are distributed with WF. Chapter 4: Hosting the Workflow Runtime - WF is not a stand-alone application. It is a framework for building your own workflow-enabled applications. Chapter 6: Local Services - Several core features of WF are implemented as pluggable services. This allows you to choose the implementation of each service that meets your needs. Chapter 7: Event-Driven Activities - This chapter covers event-driven activities that allow your workflows to wait for the receipt of an external event. Chapter 8: Workflow Persistence - Workflow persistence allows you to automatically save the state of running workflow instances and then reload them at a later time. Chapter 9: State Machine Workflows - WF supports two main types of workflows: sequential and state machine. Up until this point in Pro WF: Windows Workflow in .NET 3.0, you have been working with sequential workflows that target system interaction problems. Chapter 10: Transactions and Compensation - The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate two ways to control the integrity and consistency of work that is performed by a workflow. Chapter 11: Workflow Rules - WF includes a general-purpose rules engine that you can also use as an alternate way to declare your business logic. Rules are best thought of as simple statements or assertions about data and not as procedural instructions. Chapter 12: Exception and Error Handling - Exception handling is important in any application, and WF provides a way to declaratively handle exceptions. Chapter 13: Dynamic Workflow Updates - Most of the time, you will statically define a workflow and then create instances of it at runtime. WF also provides the ability to dynamically apply updates to an executing workflow, altering the internal structure of the workflow..
