# CoreWF

A port of the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) runtime to .NET 6. It
is [licensed](LICENSE) under the MIT License.

__This is not an official Microsoft release of WF on .NET 6. CoreWF is a derivative work of Microsoft's copyrighted
Windows Workflow Foundation.__

## WF Overview

Workflows are multi-step processes composed of activities. Activities are single-purpose elements that can be composed
of other activities. Workflows have only one root activity in the same way that an XML document has only one root
element.

Developers can create workflows in code:

```csharp
var helloWorldActivity = new Sequence()
{
    Activities =
    {
        new WriteLine
        {
            Text = "Hello World!"
        }
    }
};
```

The workflow can be run with the following code:

```csharp
System.Activities.WorkflowInvoker.Invoke(helloWorldActivity);
```

The similarity of workflow/activity concepts to XML's document/element concepts means it's possible to write workflows
in XML; specifically, an extension of XML called [XAML](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/desktop-wpf/fundamentals/xaml)
. The "Hello World!" workflow from above can be written as:

```xml
<Activity 
 x:Class="WorkflowConsoleApplication1.HelloWorld"
 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2009/xaml/activities"
 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
  <Sequence>
    <WriteLine Text="Hello World!" />
  </Sequence>
</Activity>
```

The XAML workflow can be loaded in CoreWF
through [ActivityXamlServices](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.activities.xamlintegration.activityxamlservices):

```csharp
var helloWorldActivity = ActivityXamlServices.Load(new StringReader(xamlString));
System.Activities.WorkflowInvoker.Invoke(helloWorldActivity);
```

WF in the .NET Framework includes a visual, drag-and-drop designer for workflows that produces XAML. The "Hello World!"
workflow looks like this in the designer:

The designer experience is not part of CoreWF but the XAML produced by the designer can be run in CoreWF (with some
limitations). The WF designer experience is available in Visual Studio 2019 by enabling the "Windows Workflow
Foundation" individual component in the Visual Studio Installer.

## Target Frameworks

CoreWF targets .NET 6 and .NET 6 Windows. The .NET Windows target uses the **System.Xaml** included in the .NET Desktop
Runtime. To use CoreWF on non-Windows runtimes, use the portable .NET 6 target. This is possible because CoreWF includes
a copy of the **System.Xaml** code.
