Chapter 36. WCF and WF Applications

In the last chapter you saw an overview of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which you can use to build the user interface for your applications. Now you'll see how you can use Visual Studio 2008 to work with the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). Released in conjunction with WPF as part of version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, WCF provides a consistent interface for working across a variety of communication technologies, while WF provides a solid platform for building workflow applications.
