    This may be a dumb :-\ question but an honest one. :-D If I am just using Express Editions of Visual C# or Visual Web Developer, can I still install/use Windows Workflow Designer?

    Remember, your work is not yours alone. Somewhere, there are some codes written by others amongst us that depends on your work. By failing to see that you are part of their ecosystem, you are bound to break their code. *http://dotnetrandz.blogspot.com*

      Here is the MSDN forum for Visual Studio Express C#. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=1495&siteid=1[^] I did a search for you and found this answer: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1908906&SiteID=1[^] According to what I found, I don't think so. But... you could post this on the forum and see what comes back.

        No it isn't I'm afraid.

        Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

          as far as i know, the workflow designer isn't part of visual studio, but of the .net framework. that's why you are able to host the designer in your app and use it without having VS installed. i used the workflow designer in one of our apps so that our customers could define their own workflows without a need for using XAML or having VS installed. check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480213.aspx[^] maybe you can use the designer in a custom app without the need of VS

              Gee, thanks. I also did some searching before I posted here but I guess, I haven't searched harder. Thank you for the link.
