A First Look at WF Activities

Recall that the purpose of WF is to allow you to model a business process in a declarative manner,

which is then executed by the WF runtime engine. In the vernacular of WF, a business process is

composed of any number of 

activities. Simply put, a WF activity is an atomic “step” in the overall

process. When you create a new WF-enabled application using Visual Studio 2008, you will find a

Windows Workflow area of the Toolbox that contains iconic representations of the built-in activities

(see Figure 26-2).
