EditingContext Class

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

The EditingContext class contains contextual state information about a designer. This includes permanent state information such as the list of services running in the designer. It also includes transient state consisting of context items including the set of currently selected objects as well as the editing tool being used to manipulate objects on the design surface.

Namespace:  System.Activities.Design
