Workflow Foundation 4.0

The new Workflow foundation comes with .Net Framework 4.0 that supports building and running the next generation of applications and services. The key components of the .NET Framework are the common language runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework class library, which includes ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), by the way all Visual Studio 2010 IDE are build in XAML language that provides a managed execution environment, simplified development and deployment, and integration with a wide variety of programming languages.

In version 4 of the Microsoft® .NET Framework, Windows Workflow Foundation introduces a significant amount of change from the previous versions of the technology that shipped as part of .NET 3.0 and 3.5.

The significant changes made were necessary to provide the best experience for developers adopting WF and to enable WF to continue to be a strong foundational component that you can build on in your applications.
