If your workflow depersists fine using asp.net, it certainly should when you hook in your silverlight client. Silverlight is after all only a UI client that typicallly lives on top of an ASP.NET web application.

Your WWF-related logic and code should be in the ASP.NET layer -- not in Silverlight at all.

It seems you already know how to make a WWF-enabled application in ASP.NET. All you really need to do is wire up the Silverlight interface to the ASP.NET web app. Take a look here for some more info: http://silverlight.net/

Hi Rawadch,

Unlike ASP.NET, Silverlight processing occurs on the client machine thus decreasing server resource utilization and improving the Web experience on the client.Silverlight was designed using the same design paradigm as ASP.NET. So if you are able to connect workflow with asp.net eventually you should be able to connect it with silverlight application.

If you still not able to invoke workflow using silverlight i suggest you to take a look at the below link:

Hope to hear from you if you are not able to invoke
