CompositeActivity Class

Definition

Caution

The System.Workflow.* types are deprecated. Instead, please use the new types from System.Activities.*

Derivative of Activity that is the base class for all activities that contain other activities. A CompositeActivity is responsible for managing the execution of its child activities.

Examples

This example shows a basic CompositeActivity that executes its first child activity for execution. When the child activity moves to the Closed state, the composite activity is notified and then completes its execution.

public class HasOneChildActivity : CompositeActivity  
{  
    protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext)  
    {  
        Activity child = this.EnabledActivities[0];  
        child.Closed += this.ChildClosed;  
        executionContext.ExecuteActivity(child);  

        return ActivityExecutionStatus.Executing;  
    }  

    void ChildClosed(object sender, ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs e)  
    {  
        e.Activity.Closed -= this.ChildClosed;  
        ActivityExecutionContext executionContext = sender as ActivityExecutionContext;  

        executionContext.CloseActivity();  
    }  
}  

Remarks

Note

This material discusses types and namespaces that are obsolete. For more information, see Deprecated Types in Windows Workflow Foundation 4.5.

A CompositeActivity manages the execution of its child activities using ActivityExecutionContext class methods and events defined on the Activity class. For example, a child activity is scheduled for execution using the ExecuteActivity of ActivityExecutionContext. A CompositeActivity activity can be notified when a child activity completes its execution by subscribing to the Closed event defined on Activity.

The workflow runtime enforces certain constraints on CompositeActivity execution, the most fundamental of which is that a CompositeActivity activity cannot move to the Closed state if any child activities are still in a Executing, Canceling, Compensating, or Faulting, state.
