This material discusses types and namespaces that are obsolete. For more information, see Deprecated Types in Windows Workflow Foundation 4.5.

Typically, an instance of a sequential workflow root designer class is created when a workflow is created in a workflow designer and it represents the designer surface on which users can add and edit activities. A workflow root designer does not have a parent designer unless it is the child of an InvokeWorkflowActivity activity. All workflow root designers must derive from SequentialWorkflowRootDesigner.
