Track abstract - .NET
Declarative WCF/WF Services in .NET 4.0
One of the main developments in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is the declarative services model. Developers can now use eXtansible Application Markup Language (XAML) and visual tools to author services and workflows and leverage the close integration between WCF and WF.
This demo intensive session will focus on declarative service programming using the latest versions of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0. The Visual Studio workflow designer will be demonstrated using both the flowchart and sequential workflow models to interact with WCF services. The concept of durable services will be explained and demonstrated using interactive and visual scenarios.
