PolicyActivity Class

Definition

Caution

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

Represents a collection of Rule class instances to be run as part of a workflow's execution as a single step or activity.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a new instance of the PolicyActivity class and set its properties. This code example is part of the RuleActionTrackingEventSample SDK sample from the SimplePolicyWorkflow.designer.cs file. For more information, see RuleActionTrackingEvent Sample.

// A workflow is always run asychronously; the main thread waits on this event so the program
// doesn't exit before the workflow completes
workflowRuntime.AddService(new SqlWorkflowPersistenceService("Initial Catalog=SqlPersistenceService;Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;"));
' A workflow is always run asychronously the main thread waits on Me event so the program
' doesn't exit before the workflow completes
WorkflowRuntime.AddService(New SqlWorkflowPersistenceService("Initial Catalog=SqlPersistenceServiceData Source=localhostIntegrated Security=SSPI"))

(Inherited from Activity)
GetActivityByName(String)

Returns the instance of the Activity whose name is requested from the set of all activities running under the root activity of this instance, which is within the workflow.

(Inherited from Activity)
GetActivityByName(String, Boolean)
