Overview

This collection of documents by the WF product team should help .NET developers currently using WF in the .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 to evaluate .NET Framework 4. The documents map concepts between the existing WF model (defined as the types in the System.Workflow.* namespaces, or WF3) and the new WF model (defined as the types in the System.Activities.* namespaces, or WF4).

The documents and code samples are expected to be updated semi-regularly as additional content is created, and based on the feedback we receive, starting with the release of .NET Framework 4 Beta 1, and continuing through RTM of .NET 4.

Feedback and questions around the documents should be directed to the WF 4 Forums.
