摘要:
A user interface for building a componentized workflow model. Each step of the workflow is modeled as an activity that has metadata to describe design time aspects, compile time aspects, and runtime aspects of the workflow step. A user selects and arranges the activities to create the workflow via the user interface. The metadata associated with each of the activities in the workflow is collected to create a persistent representation of the workflow. Users extend the workflow model by authoring custom activities.

An ink-enabled user interface for building a componentized workflow model. A touch screen display device allows each step of the workflow to be modeled as an activity that has metadata to describe design time aspects, compile time aspects, and runtime aspects of the workflow step. A user selects and arranges the activities via the touch screen device to create the workflow via user interfaces or application programming interfaces. The metadata associated with each of the activities in the workflow is collected to create a persistent representation of the workflow. Users extend the workflow model by authoring custom activities.

Workflow debugging. A debug engine integrated with an external development tool debugging framework sets breakpoints directly on workflow activities and stops execution of the workflow at each of the breakpoints. The state of the workflow activity at the breakpoint is displayed. The debug engine extracts source code of the workflow for debugging at the source code level.
摘要:
Visual composition of an activity for re-use in a composite activity or in a workflow. A user declaratively and/or programmatically generates reusable composite activities from existing activities interactively using a visual designer. The activity has one or more configuration properties associated therewith that define the behavior of an aspect of the activity. Depending on the value of the configuration properties, the activity may be, for example, partially configured, fully configured, or minimally configured. A user or developer completes the configuration of the activity during re-use of the activity in a composite activity or in a workflow.

Providing data bound workflow activities to model messaging between a workflow instance and a workflow host. The workflow author associates a data source with each data bound activity in a workflow without specifying details of the underlying messaging technology. The data bound activity in the workflow instance communicates with a data source service in the workflow host to exchange data.
