NativeActivity<TResult> Class

Definition

Abstract base class for custom activities that implement execution logic using the Execute(NativeActivityContext) method, that has full access to the runtime's features.

C#
public abstract class NativeActivity<TResult> : System.Activities.Activity<TResult>

Type Parameters

TResult

The result returned by the activity.

Inheritance
Derived

Examples

The following code sample demonstrates creating a class that inherits from NativeActivity<TResult>. This example is from the How to: Create an Activity step of the Getting Started Tutorial [.NET Framework 4.5].

C#
public sealed class ReadInt : NativeActivity<int>
{
    [RequiredArgument]
    public InArgument<string> BookmarkName { get; set; }

    protected override void Execute(NativeActivityContext context)
    {
        string name = BookmarkName.Get(context);

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("BookmarkName cannot be an Empty string.",
                "BookmarkName");
        }

        context.CreateBookmark(name, new BookmarkCallback(OnReadComplete));
    }

    // NativeActivity derived activities that do asynchronous operations by calling
    // one of the CreateBookmark overloads defined on System.Activities.NativeActivityContext
    // must override the CanInduceIdle property and return true.
    protected override bool CanInduceIdle
    {
        get { return true; }
    }

    void OnReadComplete(NativeActivityContext context, Bookmark bookmark, object state)
    {
        this.Result.Set(context, Convert.ToInt32(state));
    }
}

Constructors

NativeActivity<TResult>()

When implemented in a derived class, creates a new instance of the derived class.

Properties

CacheId

Gets the identifier of the cache that is unique within the scope of the workflow definition.

(Inherited from Activity)
CanInduceIdle

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the activity can cause the workflow to become idle.

Constraints

Gets a collection of Constraint activities that can be configured to provide validation for the Activity.

(Inherited from Activity)
DisplayName

Gets or sets an optional friendly name that is used for debugging, validation, exception handling, and tracking.

(Inherited from Activity)
Id

Gets an identifier that is unique in the scope of the workflow definition.

(Inherited from Activity)
Implementation

The execution logic of the activity.

ImplementationVersion

Gets or sets the implementation version of the activity.

Result

Gets or sets the result argument for the Activity<TResult>.

(Inherited from Activity<TResult>)
ResultType

When implemented in a derived class, gets the type of an activity OutArgument.

(Inherited from ActivityWithResult)

Methods

Abort(NativeActivityAbortContext)

When implemented in a derived class, takes actions in response to the activity being aborted.

CacheMetadata(ActivityMetadata)

Not implemented. Use CacheMetadata(NativeActivityMetadata) instead.

CacheMetadata(NativeActivityMetadata)

Creates and validates a description of the activity's arguments, variables, child activities, and activity delegates.

Cancel(NativeActivityContext)

When implemented in a derived class, runs logic to cause graceful early completion of the activity.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
Execute(NativeActivityContext)

When implemented in a derived class, runs the activity's execution logic.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(NativeActivityUpdateMapMetadata, Activity)

Raises an event when creating a map for the dynamic update.

OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(UpdateMapMetadata, Activity)

Raises an event when creating a map for the dynamic update.

ShouldSerializeDisplayName()

Indicates whether the DisplayName property should be serialized.

(Inherited from Activity)
ToString()

Returns a String that contains the Id and DisplayName of the Activity.

(Inherited from Activity)
UpdateInstance(NativeActivityUpdateContext)

Updates the instance of NativeActivity<TResult>.
