Examples
The following code example shows how to create and set values for the HandleExternalEventActivity class. This code example is part of the RaiseEventToLoadWorkflow SDK sample from the DocumentApprovalWorkflow.cs file. For more information, see Raise Event To Load Workflow.
this.Car.Name = "Car";
this.Car.ExecuteCode += new System.EventHandler(this.Car_ExecuteCode);
this.Car.SetValue(System.Workflow.Activities.ConditionedActivityGroup.WhenConditionProperty, codecondition1);
codecondition2.Condition += new System.EventHandler<System.Workflow.Activities.ConditionalEventArgs>(this.AirlineCondition);
Me.Car.Name = "Car"
AddHandler Car.ExecuteCode, AddressOf Me.Car_ExecuteCode
Me.Car.SetValue(System.Workflow.Activities.ConditionedActivityGroup.WhenConditionProperty, codecondition1)
AddHandler codecondition2.Condition, AddressOf Me.AirlineCondition

Note
This material discusses types and namespaces that are obsolete. For more information, see Deprecated Types in Windows Workflow Foundation 4.5.
A local service is a class that implements a local service interface (an interface that is marked with ExternalDataExchangeAttribute) and is added to the ExternalDataExchangeService.
The HandleExternalEventActivity receives data when the ExternalDataExchangeService service raises an event with event data derived from ExternalDataEventArgs.
The HandleExternalEventActivity is a blocking activity.
Classes that derive from HandleExternalEventActivity should not implement the IActivityEventListener<T> interface because the derived class does not execute correctly.
Constructors
