This first article aims at presenting a very simple solution for custom persistence and tracking services for windows workflow foundation.
The solution presented here has been designed to run with a long-running state machine workflow but could be adapted to any use case. It contains:
- A persistence service that stores the serialized workflow into a binary file,
- A tracking service that stores the state changes into a text file.
This article will only explain how to create and use persistence and tracking services. A more detailed explanation about a simple state machine workflow running with a host demo application will be done in a further article.
