Focusing on the transition from native Windows code to .NET managed code, this guide offers Windows developers essential tools and strategies for rewriting existing code within the .NET environment. It emphasizes the rich interoperation capabilities that .NET provides, making it easier for developers to adapt and enhance their applications.
Focusing on Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), this comprehensive guide takes readers from initial setup through implementation and customization. It serves as a valuable resource for .NET developers, particularly those transitioning from .NET 2.0, by offering a thorough grounding in this crucial addition to the .NET framework. Its practical approach makes it an essential reference for both new and experienced developers looking to enhance their skills in workflow management.
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a revolutionary part of the .NET 4 Framework that allows you to orchestrate human and system interactions as a series of workflows that can be easily mapped, analyzed, adjusted, and implemented. As business problems become more complex, the need for workflow-based solutions has never been more evident. WF provides a simple and consistent way to model and implement complex problems. As a developer, you focus on developing the business logic for individual workflow tasks. The runtime handles the execution of those tasks after they have been composed into a workflow. Pro Windows Workflow in .NET 4 provides you with the skills you need to incorporate WF in your applications, using a lively tutorial style with each example illustrated in C#. This book gets you up to speed with WF 4 quickly and comprehensively. Learn about WF 4’s new designer, it’s updated programming paradigm, and the completely new set of activities that can enable and extend your workflows. This book also includes detailed coverage of how to customize your workflows and access them in a variety of ways and situations so you can maximize the advantages of this technology.
The book explores Windows Workflow Foundation, an innovative component of the .NET Framework designed for orchestrating interactions between humans and systems. It emphasizes the ability to create and manage workflows that can be easily mapped, analyzed, and modified, enhancing both efficiency and adaptability in application development.
