<activated> Element (Service Instance)

This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the  Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Contains information about client-activated objects that the application exposes to clients.
