WF4 hosting conversion of self hosting console app to service hosted in IIS

I have a console application project which is a workflow service self hosted using WorkflowServiceHost. It contains a flowchart workflow definition (xaml) and some custom activities in cs files. This application connects (via a service reference) to a WCF data service hosted as .svc. I have an aspnet web app that interacts with the workflow service via a service ref. It's all working fine.

I'd like to convert the workflow service console app to instead be hosted on IIS (I'm developing using IIS5 and the live environment is IIS6) but am unsure how to go about it. I tried creating a WCF WorkflowService Application project and copying my xaml (changing to xamlx - not sure if I needed to do that or not) and cs files in, and created a service reference to my WCF data service but when I tried to browse the xamlx I got an error "Cannot create unknown type x" x being a type that it should be able to "see" via the service reference it has.

What are my options for hosting - do I have to use WorkflowServiceApplication or can I host using .svc? Can someone point to a tutorial or talk me through what I need to do? Also I would like to have the workflow definition in a class library p开发者_开发百科roject if possible, thus separating it from its host. Not critical though.

A XAML and XAMLX file are almost the same but not quite. The XAML file results in a class being generated to wrap the XAML and you work with that type as if it is a normal class. A XAMLX file is not compiled and parsed at runtime. The root element is also different for the two and the XAMLX has no x:Class attribute because it isn't compiled.

The easiest way is to just create a XAMLX file and copy the activities from the XAML file into the XAMLX file.
