Messaging activity designers

Messaging activity designers are used to create and configure messaging activities that send and receive Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) messages from within a Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) application. Five messaging activities were introduced in .NET Framework 4. The Workflow Designer provides two template designers that enable you to manage messaging within a workflow.
