Task 1: Create the Simple Expense Report Application

In this task, you create the project file and Windows Form application that is used throughout the remainder of this tutorial. The project file contains the necessary assembly references that most Windows Workflow Foundation applications require. As you progress through the tutorial, you will edit this file to add new project files.

The Windows Form application contains the complete user interface for the tutorial. However, you will add additional logic to the Windows Form as you build the sequential workflow throughout the remaining exercises.

This task contains procedures for creating the files either using Visual Studio, or using a text editor with the standalone SDK.

Using Visual Studio

This section describes how to create the project and application files in Visual Studio.

To create the SimpleExpenseReport project

  1. In Visual Studio, click File, point to New, point to Project, If you want to create a C# project, select Visual C#, Windows and choose Windows Application and name the project SimpleExpenseReport. Click OK. If you want to create a Visual Basic project, select Visual Basic, Windows and follow the previous steps.

  2. In Solution Explorer, right click References and click Add Reference. In the .NET tab, click each of the followings and click OK to add them to the project.

    • System.Configuration
    • System.Workflow.Activities
    • System.Workflow.ComponentModel
    • System.Workflow.Runtime
    • System.Design
    • System.Drawing.Design
    • System.Transactions
    • System.Web
    • System.Web.Services

Creating and Running the Windows Form Application

Next, you create the Windows Forms application, which will contain the user interface for the remainder of the tutorial.

To create and run the simple expense report Windows Form application

  1. In Solution Explorer, double click Program.cs or Program.vb to open it in the code editor pane on the left.

  2. Add the following code for the Windows Form application.

    C# 
    using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Workflow.Runtime;

  5. Click Debug, point to Start Debugging, your Windows Form application should look similar to the following figure:

    Simple Expense Report Sample Dialog Box

Using a Text Editor

This section describes how to create the project and application files using a text editor outside Visual Studio.

Follow these steps to create the project file for the expense report application. If you are using C#, give the project file the .csproj file name extension. If you are using Visual Basic, give it a .vbproj file name extension.

To create the SimpleExpenseReport project file

  1. In your project directory, create a new file named SimpleExpenseReport.

    Use the .csproj extension for a C# project or the .vbproj extension for a Visual Basic project.

  2. Copy and paste the following code into this project file.

    Visual Basic
