For those of you who attended my webcast today on workflow communications, the demo code is attached to this post. It includes the base activities used for communication activities (more on these in a later post) and it provides simple example of local...

I've got a couple of fun talks coming up this month. First, I'm going to be doing an MSDN webcast on Windows Workflow Foundation - Communication in Depth. I'm going to dive into the core communication architecture, discuss how some of the OOB activities...

Microsoft has rolled out the beta of SP1 for .NET Framework version 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. Now don't get confused, this is not just a simple set of bug fixes, this thing is big! Entity Framework and LINQ to entities ADO.NET Data Services (formerly...

I got a chance a few weeks ago to sit down with Jeff Brand at the local Microsoft office and talk about something I love - Connected Systems. We discussed Workflow and Biztalk, WCF and web services and how it all fits together. Jeff is fun to talk to...

Updated 11/29 - see below I recently created a retry activity that I've been wanting to write for some time now, and had a few features that I wanted to add. I was teaching a class a couple of weeks ago and took the opportunity to add a retry interval...

Hot off the presses, you can get it now from MSDN subscriber downloads or the trial version . See Soma's blog for more details on the new features, etc. Surprisingly, being a WF and BizTalk guy, I'm least excited about the WF/WCF integration. I'll talk...

If you attended my talk at the SOA conference on building composite activities, then you'll find the demos here . I really liked doing this talk and it gave me a reason to work on a composite activity that I wanted to write for a while: the RetryActivity...

My MSDN article on communications in workflow has been posted. In this article, I really wanted to try and focus on the low level communication so that people would understand what was going on under the covers. I don't both with the "local communications...

OK, Reading actually, but if you are in the London area and interested in workflow, then this is your chance to get a thorough understanding of not only the how of WF, but the why. We will look deep under the covers of building WF programs, hosts and...

I'm excited to be hosting a BOF this year at Tech Ed on the tracking services in Windows Workflow Foundation. If you are interested in talking about tracking in general, the use of the included SQL tracking and query APIs, or custom tracking services...

One of my frustrations with Windows Workflow Foundation, is that there is no easy way in Visual Studio to create pure XAML workflows. The tools really drive you toward compiling the XAML into a .NET assembly. That, to me, defeats the purpose of using...

I'm excited to be presenting at the upcoming Tech Ed 2007 event in Orlando next month. I'm doing two different sessions for the Connected Systems Division (SOA track); one on BizTalk R2 and one on Windows Workflow. If you are heading to Tech Ed, I hope...

The June issue of MSDN magazine is up on MSDN website and for the Foundations column I wrote about the ActivityExecutionContext in WF. In my opinion, this extremely important aspect of WF gets little attention, yet causes a lot of the developer frustration...

My first article in the Foundations column on Windows Workflow Foundation is now live on the MSDN Magazine site. I find tracking to be one of the most powerful features of WF and easily the most frequently used extension model, outside of custom activities...
