We are currently developing a custom inventory, sales, and contact management system. The system (ASP.NET 2.0) maintains customers, inventory, and orders, and our next phase must provide workflow to integrate the users with each other in a task-driven workflow. We would like to use Windows Workflow Foundation as our workflow technology platform.
My question is around the presentation of a "task list" for each user. In our proposed workflow solution, many complex workflows will be processing simultaneously, and each user will have many "tasks" assigned to them at any given time. We are looking for a best-practice approach for displaying the tasks assigned to a given user. Does anyone have any suggestions, or are there any demos available
Task List presentation of "my assigned activities"

Hi.
We have the same issue and we are at the point where we need to decide how to handle assignments of activities to users.
It would be great if we could get some suggestions about the approach that you used to address this requirement.
This is a burning issue at work and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
P.

User tasks may be implemented in many ways and because of that we decided it was too high level to be part of Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). You can implement user tasks on top of the technology provided in WF and this is done in Microsoft Office 2007 with their implementaiton of document workflows. We have a sample in the works which shows a simpler implementation of tasks built in a Windows Forms application.
