Developers can use Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) to describe business processes and human or system workflows with a simple, flowchart-type model.
WF supports a wide range of scenarios, including workflow in line-of-business (LOB) applications, user-interface (UI) page flow, document-centric workflow, human workflow, composite workflow for service-oriented applications, business-rule-driven workflow, and workflow for systems management.
After a model is compiled, it can be executed inside any Windows process. When business logic changes, you can apply updates to the process dynamically.
