Workflow services are Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services authored as workflows using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). Using the WF framework enables these services to be durable, be long-running, and inherit other existing WF functionality.

This tutorial shows you how to create a workflow service that combines various aspects of WF and WCF into one service. The first exercise shows you how to use Visual Studio to create a basic state-machine workflow service. The next exercises use that same service and build on it by adding new functionality such as claim-based authorization and local host communication.
