Debugging Workflows from a Remote Computer
When you install Visual Studio 2008 for Windows Workflow Foundation, one of the component installation options is to install the Visual Studio 2008 Debugger for Windows Workflow Foundation. This installs the remote debugging components. These remote debugging components must be installed on the computer that you are targeting for remote workflow debugging.
Additionally, the assembly that contains the workflow definition of the workflow that you are debugging on a remote computer must be installed in the global assembly cache (GAC) of the local computer that you are debugging from. For example, if a workflow is running on a remote computer A, and you are debugging it from local computer B, the workflow definition must be present in the GAC of computer B. This enables the designer to deserialize and display on computer B the workflow markup of the workflow that is running remotely on computer A. For more information about the global assembly cache, see the MSDN Library.
Windows Workflow Foundation remote debugging functions the same as remote debugging for other Visual Studio components. For more information, see Visual Studio 2008 Remote Debugging in the MSDN Library.
