.net Workflow Foundation Editor

Question

Hello there!

Is it possible to integrate the .net workflow foundation editor (from VisualStudio) or a similar control into an other application?

Otherwise i have to program it by my self.

I have to realize an interactive diagram chart in which the user can put in new actions, parameter and something.

Thanks for your information!

Answer 1

It is! :)

The technique is called "Workflow Designer Re-Hosting", and you can read more about it on MSDN.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible. In the project I am currently working on, we use the Workflow Foundation designer in a WinForms front end. You can see a screenshot here. But I cannot tell you exactly how it is done because I joined to project when this was already done.
