Webcasts on WCF WF 4.0

Alan Smith
In the third in series of webcasts looking at Workflow Foundation 4.0 custom activities I’ll take a look at Custom Activity Designers. The designers use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to allow developers to easily create stylish and functional activities. Data binding is used to edit activity properties in the workflow designer.

In this webcast I will take a look at calling WCF services from a WF workflow in Visual Studio 2010. The WCF/WF integration is one of the new features in .NET 4.0 that will appeal to developers who work with WCF services and want to leverage the functionality of WF workflows in their applications. This is a fairly basic run-through of how to do it. I will be producing more advanced WCF/WF webcasts in the near future.

The DataContract and DataMember attributes will be used to transform an entity class into a data contract that can be serialized. The serialization mechanism will be demonstrated by creating SOAP messages from the data contracts. The use of ordering will be demonstrated, along with the use of generic lists for collections.

This webcast shows how the WS-ReliableMessaging standard can be used in WCF to increase the reliability of message transmission across unreliable transports. The Fiddler tool will be used to examine how WCF creates a reliable session, and how messages and message acknowledgements are transmitted across the wire. The effects of blocking messages will be examined with reliable messaging turned off and on, and with the ordered delivery options enabled and disabled.
