Why does Workflow work in HTML5???

Hi all,

This question is purely for enrichment.   I had a colleague ask me this last week: "Why does Workflow work on an HTML5 viewer?  It's a .xaml file, and that's Silverlight."  I really stumbled on that.  All I could really say was that it really wasn't a xaml file at all, as we know it's really just markup.  I reasoned that this markup is consumed by the Essentials core product, which is technology and browser agnostic.

Now I'd love to really know the answer to that.  Am I close?

  Gcx Workflow is based on the MS Windows Workflow Foundation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms734631(v=vs.90).aspx).

  The file with the extension '.xaml' is not only for the UI file for SL, WPF, but also for Workflow file too.

  All server side activity code can used both for GVS and for GVH, while the Client activities like Display Form are implemented differently for GVS and GVH.

  Your custom client activity should be implemented differently for GVS and GVH too.

  Is this helpful?
