Abstract
When building workflow solutions, you may need to make a call into an external system to retrieve data or perform some processing. Often, that call can take some time to complete, and it is undesirable to tie up resources on the SharePoint server while waiting for the activity to finish. The Workflow Foundation (WF) provides the ability to make a call and then enter an idle state while waiting for a response. During the idle state, the workflow data is persisted, and the instance is unloaded from memory.
