Remarks

This class supports the versioning and dynamic update functionality of Windows Workflow Foundation. For more information about workflow versioning, workflow identity, and dynamic update, see the following topics:

• Workflow Versioning
  Describes the workflow versioning functionality introduced in .NET Framework 4.5.

• Dynamic Update
  Describes how to update the workflow definition of a persisted workflow instance by using dynamic update.

• Using WorkflowApplication Identity and Versioning
  Describes how to use WorkflowIdentity to host multiple versions of a workflow side-by-side.

• Side by Side Versioning in WorkflowServiceHost
  Describes how to host multiple versions of a workflow on a single endpoint.

• How to: Host Multiple Versions of a Workflow Side-by-Side
  This step in the Getting Started Tutorial demonstrates updating a workflow definition, and hosting workflows using both the old and new definition at the same time.

• How to: Update the Definition of a Running Workflow Instance
  This step in the Getting Started Tutorial demonstrates updating persisted workflow instances to use a new workflow definition.

Constructors

Version	Gets or sets the version of the workflow identity.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
Equals(WorkflowIdentity)	Determines whether the current WorkflowIdentity and the specified WorkflowIdentity are the same.
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this workflow identity.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Parse(String)	Converts the string representation of the WorkflowIdentity.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.
TryParse(String, WorkflowIdentity)	Parses the string and creates a new instance of a WorkflowIdentity.
