For the past few days i’m exploring more into the Worklow Development with SharePoint 2010. I’ve developed applications using Windows Workflow Foundation in the past. Based on that i tried to compare whether the SharePoint workflow framework delivers all the capabilities offered by Windows Workflow foundation. I’ve learnt that the following activities are not supported .
Activity |
Description |
InvokeWebService |
Invokes a web service from workflow |
InvokeWorkflow |
Invokes another workflow |
Policy |
Stores the definition and execution logic of a RuleSet |
Receive Activity |
Exposes workflow as WCF service |
WebServiceInput |
Used for exposing workflow as web service |
WebServiceOutput |
Used for exposing worklow as web service |
WebServiceFault |
Sends a fault from workflow to web service |
Send Activity |
Connects to WCF end point |
Suspend |
Suspends the execution fo Workflow |
Throw |
Raises exception in workflow |
SynchronizationScope |
Synchronizes the execution |
TransactionScope |
Groups activities inot a transaction scope |
Compensate |
Undo or componesate work that was previously done |
CompensatableTransaction |
Uses compensation logc |
CompensatbleSequence |
Same purpose as compensate activity |
Even though these activities get listed in Visual Studio Toolbox, they are not suppored in SharePoint Workflows

Hello,
from where do you have this information? I can’t find nothing about this limitations within the MSDN Library. Can you support a official Link?
