(As this is primarily a C# Web site, we usually omit any Visual Basic source code. However, in this case, the Visual Basic examples have been included; because they will be readable to a C# programmer. Also, because some of the C# examples are given as modifications to the VB code.)

First Windows Workflow

This chapter will show you the code that’s generated when a new workflow project is created, as well as demonstrate how workflow and activities are created as classes. After I introduce you to the code that’s generated, you’ll create a simple Sequential workflow and State Machine workflow. You’ll create both these workflows in both VB and C#, and I’ll show you how to debug the workflows using a console application.
