  • "In this post I will show how to setup a Sql Server database such that it can be used by Workflow Foundation’s Sql Server Persistence service. I will also show how to add the Sql Persistence service to the workflow runtime. Once I have the persistence service added to the workflow runtime I will use the workflow from my last two posts to demonstrate the effects of a persistence service on a workflow’s lifecycle. Finally I will show the various configuration options of this service."

  • In this session, I follow up on my previous screencast where I covered using SQL Tracking Services and dive into how Tracking Profiles work and how you can create them in code. I also showcase a couple of sample applications from the Windows SDK that allow you to visually create tracking profiles and then monitor a workflow using tracking data and the visual designer.

  • In this session, I go into detail about how to use one of the more powerful control flow activities in the framework. I show how to use data to drive control flow with the replicator, how to control the execution style and how to use rules to control when execution should complete. In addition, I show how to use code to initialize child activities before they are executed.
