You can export workflow and business process definitions as C# Source Code files (.cs). The export process is the same for both workflows and business processes.
There are two primary reasons to export a workflow or business process as a C# Source Code file:
- To use a C# Source Code file with Microsoft's Windows Workflow Foundation.
- If you contact a technical support professional, you may be asked to provide a C# Source Code file for troubleshooting purposes.
To learn about exporting workflow or business process definitions as a XML-based Workflow Import File (.wfi), see Exporting Workflow Definitions.
