Windows Workflow Foundation Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit
This starter kit is a Visual Studio 2005 (with updates for Visual Studio 2008) project that demonstrates using Windows Workflow Foundation for simple task-oriented workflow in an ASP.NET Web application. A workflow model is used to automate work order requests at a small example company. It includes three pre-defined roles which each play a part in the work order creation, approval and monitoring. The starter kit may be modified for other workflow models to suit other small Web-based task management systems. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a438a9b9-9f15-42ec-866f-2ea58e10db36&DisplayLang=en
