WF Reference Links
在实际应用中,同一个流程是有多组状态的,在同一流程和不同参与者眼中,流程的状态各不一样。
2. Microsoft Blueprints - Release: Windows Workflow Activity Factory Blueprint 1.0
The Windows Workflow Activity Factory is a Microsoft Developer Blueprint.It will read the XML from a user-supplied WSDL and generate a series of Windows Workflow custom activities which can be branded with custom graphics and backgrounds.
3. 换一个角度再谈一下WF
记得David Chappel在Introducing_WF_in_NET_Framework_3.5的白皮书中,论述到WF是什么,其中一个方面就是Unified System and Human Workflow。我想和作者的观点是一致的,即WF支持两种类型的流程:human to human 和 system to system。
