Is sequential workflow console application available in Visual Studio?

Hi,

I have Visual Studio 2010 beta2 installed in my system. The Issue is I am not finding Sequential Workflow console application option under File ->New -> Project->Workflow for (.net framework 4).

I am trying to learn a workflow example tutorial for workflow 4.0.

But in that example -explaining to create a new Sequentialworkflow Console application.

Does Sequential Workflow console application available in VS2010?if yes why is it not found here ?

Can anyone please advise?.

Thanks

That exact option does not exist in the RC version either. You might be able to perform the tutorial using the Workflow\Workflow Console Application template.

EDIT: It would appear that they have Sequential work flows are only for WF 3.5. For .NET 4 it looks like you can use an 'Activity' to create sequential or state machine workflows.

I tried creating an application using File -> New Project -> Workflow -> Workflow Console Application. Then I added an Activity, under Workflow -> Activity, which looks like it has everything that the previous sequential template had.

I hope this helps.

I am not very familiar with how to use WF or the specific activies. As @Derar mentioned there have been alot of changes between WF 3.5 and 4. See this post (http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/pascal/archive/2009/05/20/wf-4-0-what-is-different-from-3-x.aspx) for more information on the differences.I was able to find this example, (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WF/WF4Services.aspx), for WF 4 where they have written a console application that then calls a web service to retrieve data and another that hosts a WF service. This might help.

i was able to create this using SendAndRecieveReply control in a sequential Activity.

+1 A:

They have doen alot of rework in Workflow 4.0 compared to 3.5 and 3.0. There is no state machine workflow yet that you can use. With respect to a sequential workflow, you can add a Sequence activity into your console workflow appication and all should be good. Isn't that what you are asking for?
