Examples

The following example shows how to create a Receive activity and add it to a workflow in code.

Variable<string> message = new Variable<string> { Name = "message" };
Variable<string> echo = new Variable<string> { Name = "echo" };
Receive receiveString = new Receive
{
    OperationName = "Echo",
    ServiceContractName = "Echo",
    CanCreateInstance = true,
    //parameters for receive
    Content = new ReceiveParametersContent
    {
        Parameters = 
        {
            {"message", new OutArgument<string>(message)}
        }
    }
};

Sequence workflow = new Sequence()
{
    Variables = { message, echo },
    Activities =
        {
            receiveString,
            new WriteLine
            {
                Text = new InArgument<string>(env =>("Message received: " + message.Get(env)))
            },
            new Assign<string>
            {
                Value = new InArgument<string>(env =>("<echo> " + message.Get(env))),
                To = new OutArgument<string>(echo)
            },                        
            //parameters for reply
            new SendReply
            {                           
                Request = receiveString,                            
                Content = new SendParametersContent
                {
                    Parameters =
                    {
                        { "echo", new InArgument<string>(echo) }
                    },
                }
            },
            new WriteLine
            {
                Text = new InArgument<string>(env =>("Message sent: " + echo.Get(env)))
            },
        },
};

service = new WorkflowService
{
    Name = "Echo",
    Body = workflow
};

The following example shows how to create a Receive activity and add it to a workflow service in XAML.

Remarks

The Receive activity can receive a single item or multiple items depending on the type of receive content used.

Warning

When a workflow contains multiple Receive activities with the same operation name, the CorrelatesOn property must be set to the same set of correlation queries.

Constructors

Receive()

Initializes a new instance of the Receive class.

Properties

Action	Gets or sets the value of the action header of the message.
CacheId	Gets the identifier of the cache that is unique within the scope of the workflow definition. (Inherited from Activity)
CanCreateInstance	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether a new workflow instance is created to process the message if the message does not correlate to an existing workflow instance.
Constraints	Gets a collection of Constraint activities that can be configured to provide validation for the Activity. (Inherited from Activity)
Content	Gets or sets the data to receive. The content can be either a ReceiveMessageContent or a ReceiveParametersContent.
CorrelatesOn	Gets or sets the MessageQuerySet used to query the message to extract correlation data.
CorrelatesWith	Gets or sets a correlation handle that is used to route the message to the appropriate workflow instance.
CorrelationInitializers	Gets a collection of correlation initializers that initialize query-based, context, callback context, or request-reply correlations with a Send activity runs.
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	Gets or sets the delegate that returns an Activity that contains the execution logic. (Inherited from Activity)
ImplementationVersion	Gets or sets the version of the implementation used. (Inherited from Activity)
KnownTypes	Gets a collection of known types for the operation.
OperationName	Gets or sets the name of the operation implemented by the Receive.
ProtectionLevel	Gets or sets a value that indicates the protection level for the operation.
SerializerOption	Gets or sets a value that specifies the serializer to use for this operation.
ServiceContractName	Gets or sets the name of the service contract.

Methods

CacheMetadata(ActivityMetadata)	Creates and validates a description of the activity's arguments, variables, child activities, and activity delegates. (Inherited from Activity)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
FromOperationDescription(OperationDescription)	Returns the receive activity from the given contract operation description.
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(UpdateMapMetadata, Activity)	Raises an event when creating dynamic update map. (Inherited from Activity)
ShouldSerializeCorrelatesOn()	Returns a value that indicates whether the CorrelatesOn property has changed from its default value and should be serialized.
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)
