The following code example demonstrates how you can use WorkflowRuntime functionality from a workflow host. It provides example of how to use the AddService method to add an ExternalDataExchangeService and SqlWorkflowPersistenceService to the workflow runtime engine.
This code example is part of the Cancelling a Workflow SDK sample from the Program.cs file. For more information, see Cancelling a Workflow.
Shared Sub Main()
Dim connectionString As String = "Initial Catalog=SqlPersistenceService;Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Using workflowRuntime As New WorkflowRuntime()
Dim dataService As New ExternalDataExchangeService()
workflowRuntime.AddService(dataService)
dataService.AddService(expenseService)
workflowRuntime.AddService(New SqlWorkflowPersistenceService(connectionString))

AddHandler workflowRuntime.WorkflowTerminated, AddressOf OnWorkflowTerminated
AddHandler workflowRuntime.WorkflowIdled, AddressOf OnWorkflowIdled
AddHandler workflowRuntime.WorkflowAborted, AddressOf OnWorkflowAborted
Dim workflowInstance As WorkflowInstance
workflowInstance = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(GetType(SampleWorkflow))
workflowInstance.Start()
waitHandle.WaitOne()
workflowRuntime.StopRuntime()
