Time for an update on the status of the Workflow Foundation plugin for 3.0 as of build 2668.
The plugin currently supports the following:
- Creation and build of workflow assemblies - C# only.
- Basic designer support for workflows and activities - code separation only.
- Sidebar for standard workflow activities with drag/drop onto designer.
- Event handler creation from designer.
- Rules files saved/restored.
There is still a long way to go but you can create workflow projects, compile and run them.
If you want to try it out the console template is a good starting point. It should create a application with an empty sequential workflow, do the following:
- Create a new workflow project from the sequential console project template.
- The project should have opened in the design view for workflow1, drag a CodeActivity from the toolbox onto the workflow.
- Double click your new codeActivity to generate the code handler and enter your code here,
Console.WriteLine("Hello Workflow World!");
Console.ReadKey(); - F5 to build and run and you should get a console window open with the message!
Give it a try!
