Can WWF can run with Framework 2.0 ?

    According to the video SampleSimpleWorkflow of Biztalkgurus.com :

    http://www.biztalkgurus.com/windows-workflow-foundation.aspx

    There are 4 tab in the design page: Sequential workflow, Workflow exception, Work events and workflow compensation. And at the properties, there are alot of items (Advances, Conditions, Handler...)

    But in my machine, I can't find this. There are only 3 tabs : sequential workflow, workflow Cancelation, workflow Exception. And at the properties, there are some items Activity, Conditions, handlers. Parameter item isn't exist !

    I have installed framework 3.0 release (not beta, version 1 sept 2006). And Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation RC4(EN) or RC5.

    Please show me why thanks

    Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is built on top of the .NET Framework 2.0 and ships as part of .NET Framework 3.0. In order to use it you must install .NET Framework 3.0 and should not cause any issues with .NET Framework 2.0 applications.

    Ok, I see. But How to take Parameters item and others on Properties.

    If you want your workflow or custom activity to have properties you just add a .NET property get/set that returns/sets the value to a .NET variable or a DependencyProperty. For examples of each take a look at this post.

    The video is out-dated. What you see is what the RTM version of WF offers.
