A few minutes ago I finished my preparations for the upcoming DevWeek conference by the end of March in London, UK. One topic that I'll be talking about is building a fully distributed .NET application based on the .NET framework 3.5 technologies, WCF, WF, and WPF.
I'll show the following things:
- How to use the "Workflow Services" technology from the .NET framework 3.5
- How to store workflow definitions in a database, so that business analysts can change them according to their (changing) business requirements
- How to write a workflow designer, that can be used by the business analysts to change the workflow definitions that are stored in the database
- How to use the workflow monitor application from the SDK to monitor the current running and closed workflow instances
- How to use the TrackingProfileDesigner application from the SDK to configure tracking profiles for the running workflow instances
All in all: it's just an awesome sample how to use the current .NET framework 3.5 technology stack!
See you there!
