Hi there,

Are there any build in UI capabilities when using Windows Workflow..

Lets say I have a workflow that takes an hour to run where different activities are happening all the time. While it's running I want to see what activity is currently active, what activities have already ran etc..

Do I have to code this UI myself or does WF have built in features that graphically show the status etc of the workflow?

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
