Summary

In this Hands-On Lab you have learned the basics of workflow authoring in Windows Workflow Foundation 4 by creating a simple Windows Workflow application. During the lab you learned how to create a workflow using the new Visual Studio 2010 workflow designer, and as an alternative, you also learned how create it using C# or VB code. You have explored the use of input and output arguments, seen how to add if/else logic to your workflow with the If activity and, finally, you have learned how to handle error conditions in your workflows by using exception-handling specific activities like the Try/Catch, Catch<T> and Throw activities. Of course, there is much more to Windows Workflow 4. You recommend you look at the Introduction to Workflow Services lab for more information about building Workflow enabled applications.
