Create a distributable workflow enabled smart client

We want to develop a windows application with workflow enabled. The easiest and fastest way is to use Microsoft Workflow Foundation which give you a complete API for designing any workflow application that you can think of.

We wanted to develop a windows application which has to be distributed to multiple computers and having multiple users. Here we have one challenge, we need to host the Workflow. The most simple implementation is to host workflow in a dedicated server where many clients can access to it. Next we have to expose the workflow as webservice, this is important because workflow as webservice can give you the maximum flexibility in connectivity and interoperability. For example, connect a mobile device that runs java application. Sound interesting?

I will post the tutorial on building your first smart client workflow enabled application here for your reference.
