Exercise 4: Use Runtime Services
The Windows Workflow Foundation runtime engine is designed to be customized by using services. This enables you to control how the runtime engine behaves and interacts with your host application and associated workflows during execution.
In this exercise, you explore two different methods for adding services to the Windows Workflow Foundation runtime engine. In the first task, you add runtime services directly by using code. In the second task, you use an external configuration file to control the services and their associated parameters that are added. Then, you will see how to use some of the built-in Windows Workflow Foundation services. These include the SqlWorkflowPersistenceService and SqlTrackingService services.
