New Hands On Lab - Introduction to WF4

A couple of weeks ago I ran across a very interesting tool called Feature Builder.  As I watched the videos about this tool I realized that it represented an opportunity to deliver Hands on Labs (along with other interesting things) directly inside of Visual Studio.

If you have done some of our labs from the Visual Studio 2010 Training Kit then you are familiar with the way we have done labs in the past.  So to get started with Feature Builder I decided to update the Introduction to WF4 lab from the training kit and put the content into a VSIX package that you can download from Visual Studio Gallery and install directly in Visual Studio.

At this point, this is an experiment – I hope you like it.  Let me know what you think.
