In this screencast, Aaron builds on the simple Twitter command shell application started in the previous HttpClient screencast and used through this series. To process the messages (both XML and JSON), Aaron layers a data contract over the incoming message, to allow the .NET developer to work with the content in a strong typed, dot-notation fashion. After demonstrating how to hand-craft the .NET objects, Aaron demonstrates how to use the new 'Paste XML as Serializable Type' command to automatically generate the .NET classes from a sample Twitter XML response.

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to use declarative XAML workflows.

In this screencast, Matt demonstrates how to build and run your workflows in XAML; allowing you to express your workflow completely in this XML-based format. He starts off by creating a new WF workflow using the XAML workflow project file, and walks the viewer through the files that are created by this VS project, and how to remove the code behind (.cs file) so that your workflow project will be based soley on a XAML file to explain it. We then work with the workflow in both the XAML/text editor and the WF designer to add the business logic, modify the .NET application to read in and process the XAML file, and run the workflow.

Along the way, Matt then delves into the created XAML file to examine and explain the structure and used namespaces in that XAML file. Matt also explains the impact of starting XAML only workflows - how and why we need to load the XAML file differently, and some additional exception handling that you should add to handle the runtime exceptions that can come with XAML-only workflows (because the workflow isn't being compiled, the validation is happening at runtime).

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to use the listen activity in Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) to listen for multiple events.

Matt starts with a basic sequential workflow console project and a couple custom activities. He then builds out a workflow that waits for input from the user (using a read line activity), and also implements a timeout (using a delay activity) that allows the workflow author to place a limit around how long a WF workflow will wait for input.

Along the way, Matt explains the user how the use of IEvent activity interface allows custom activities to subscribe to events that the listen activity can pass along. Also covered is how to catch exceptions that may arise after using the delay activity to 'timeout' the WF workflow.

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how fault handling works in Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) 3.5.

In this screencast, Matt starts with an existing workflow application (a console application), and adds a custom activity that throws an exception. Initially, Matt demonstrates how this is thrown and it's effect on the workflow instance. He then demonstrates how to add fault handlers into a WF sequence to handle faults in a more graceful manner - very similar to the C# try/catch pattern. Matt also explains how exceptions 'bubble up' within a WF workflow - very similar to standard .NET applications.

He then dives into how transactions work in WF to guarantee consistency in the activities, the WF workflow, and the overall transaction that WF is participating in. Along the way, Matt uses console outputs to demonstrate the execution order of activites and the transaction to visually demonstrate what the runtime is actually doing once you execute the code.

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to using the WF replicator activity to add more advanced flow control capabilities to your WF workflows.

In this screencast, Matt introduces the replicator activity, which allows you to implement ForEach-like semantics on workflow data. He adds the replicator to an existing workflow, binds the activity to the incoming data, and demonstrates how the replicator activity runs child activities. For this screencast, Matt uses an example sending e-mail notifications to persons in a data list.

While explaining how the replicator works, Matt explains a few aspects of the replicator activity: how to interact with child activities within the replicators events, (b) how to set the activity execution type to have control over how the iterations are executed (i.e., sequence or parallel), and (c) how to use conditions to set a replicator stopping point.

In this video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to work with WF tracking profiles (both SQL and custom tracking services). In last week's screencast, Matt introduced you to tracking services in WF 3.5. This week, Matt expands on tracking profiles, detailing out to create a profile via code and SDK sample apps, serialize the profile out for use in applications, and how to use the profiles within your workflow activities and workflows.

To build the profile, Matt demonstrates how to create a tracking profile two ways: by code and using Workflow Tracking Profile Designer from the WF SDK. To build the tracking profile via code, Matt introduces the concepts of workflow track points, workflow tracking locations, and how to use workflow tracking events to specify the details that you want to track. He also demonstrates how to detail which activity types you wish to track. Matt also opens up a serialized profile XML file and walks the viewer through how the profile is stored. For the Workflow Tracking Profile Designer, Matt demonstrates how the app generates the same CML file, but also how it allows you to commit the tracking profile to a SQL database.

Finally, Matt demonstrates how to use tracking in your activities and workflows to track data at runtime. He demonstrates how to send data into the tracking provider from WF activities, and how to use the Workflow Monitor SDK sample application to pull and visually display the tracked data.

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to add tracking capabilities to your WF using SQL Tracking Services.

In this screencast, Matt demonstrates how to add SQL Server workflow tracking services. He first sets up the SQL Server database/tables via Powershell, and how to add (and configure)the tracking service to the workflow runtime within the application. Once added, Matt demonstrates how to use the query API to print basic workflow information back out to a command-line Console.

As we add the service to the application, Matt also discusses the various persistance service settings that are available, such as data partitioning and profile configuration.

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to use the WF 3.5 SendActivity to synchronously consume services using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) - it picks up from last week's screencast that introduced use of the ReceiveActivity.

To add a call to a remote service, we add a ReceiveActivity where there had been custom code and wire it to the proper service interfaces. Matt then uses ChannelTokens to use them to map the ReceiveActivity and SendActivity together.

Along the way, we use the Add Service Reference option to talk to the MEX endpoint (created last week), and create the configuration information from the WCF service endpoint. Matt also dives in deeper into the use of workflow activity events and properties.

In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to use the ReceiveActivity within Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) to allow WCF clients to invoke the WF 3.5 workflow.

Matt starts with an existing WF sequential workflow (for more info, see Creating your First Sequential Workflow), and adds a WF 3.5 ReceiveActivity to the beginning of the workflow, and setup the activity to process the incoming work. To configure the activity, we add a service contract and a child activities to the ReceiveActivity that will process the request and return a result to the calling client and continue doing additional work after the workflow responds.

Along the way, Matt configures the workflow to create new instances of the workflow when a WCF call is received, and sets up the workflow in the WorkflowServiceHost that was added in 3.5. We will configure the host with an initial endpoint, add a MEX behavior, and then opens up the host. Matt then uses the WCF Test Client (discussed in Creating your First WCF Service) to interface with the hosted WCF workflow service to step through the workflow in the debugger.
