Sequential Workflow Views

The Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation provides a visual designer that is used to create a graphical representation of a workflow by dragging activities from the Toolbox onto a design surface. When you create a sequential workflow, which is a SequentialWorkflowActivity, three tabs are displayed at the bottom left of the design surface. You can use these tabs to switch between different views of the workflow. While you have the sequential workflow selected, these views are also accessible from the Workflow menu and the context menu of the design surface.

The following table lists the name and description of each view.

Menu/Tab Option Description

View SequentialWorkflow

Click the leftmost tab at the bottom left of the design surface to display the Sequential Workflow view, which shows the activity-based graphical representation of the sequential workflow. Or select View SequentialWorkflow from the Workflow menu.

View Cancel Handler

Click the second tab at the bottom left of the design surface to display the Cancel Handler view, which shows the CancellationHandlerActivity activity associated with the workflow. Or select View Cancel Handler from the Workflow menu.

View Fault Handler

Click the third tab at the bottom left of the design surface to display the workflow Faults view, which shows the FaultHandlersActivity activity associated with the workflow. Or select View Fault Handler from the Workflow menu.
