MS developer network

Is it possible to generate workflows dynamically?
I want to be able to create workflows from scratch without having to use the workflow designer.
Take the following example:
 
I have an ASP.NET application in which I can manage the activities, tasks, conditions.
I say for example: I want a workflow which start by the create request. Then I have a condition which perfoms a check.
After this I want a task for the supervisor or for a given group of users.
 
This activity is bound to that condition etc. With a validation to check if the workflow is correct.
I press a save button and a workflow is generated with asp.net tasks.
 
The goal is that non-developer people are able to generate workflows without having to call the developers to create a new workflow.
 
Do u think this kind of functionality is feasible with WWF?

Hi Stephan,A short answer would be - almost everything is possible with Workflow Foundation. Just have a look at a couple of screencast listed here: http://www.philiprichardson.org/blog/?date=2007-10-12 - the Basic Workflow screencast in particular. This is a demo of some of the new workflow capabilities in the next version of Microsoft CRM which showcases a custom web-based workflow designer. If I understood you correctly you are aiming for this kind of solution?The real question would probably be: how much effort it is to develop something like this? For very simple scenarios which a small set of activities and very simple rules I don't think this would be really difficult but I would assume that adding workflow capablilities to your application the way CRM team did it will turn out to be a non-trivial task.

It is possible by rehosting workflow designer in host application.
 
Take a look at Workflow Hands-On labs Lab-10 "WF HOL10 - Embedding the Workflow Designer.doc"
