How to reuse parts of Windows Workflows?

Question

I have 2 different WF workflows, which both use an identical piece of logic.

Currently that part is copypasted from one workflow to another.

How can I use a part of a workflow in two different workflows without duplicating it?

Basically, I want to have one "library" workflow, which is used by the 2 "real" workflows.

Answer 1

• Just add a new "Activity Library" project to your solution.
• Create an activity in the library that contains the common part.
• Add a reference to the Activity Library project.
• Build all in release.
• Drop the common activity into your workflows.
