I need to write state machines that run fast in c#.
I like the Windows Workflow Foundation library, but it’s too slow and over crowded with features (i.e. heavy). I need something faster, ideally with a graphical utility to design the diagrams, and then spit out c# code.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Ultimately, you probably want the newly redesigned WF engine in .NET 4.0, as it is much faster and provides a flowchart activity (not quite a state machine, but works for most scenarios) and a nice designer UI experience. But since it’s not yet released, that is probably not a good answer for now.
As an alternative, you could try stateless, a library specifically for creating state machine programs in .NET. It doesn’t appear to provide a UI, but looks well-suited to fulfill your other goals.
