Protected Overrides Function Execute ( _
    provider As ActivityExecutionContext _

protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(
    ActivityExecutionContext provider
)

Parameters

Return Value

The status of this activity.

Remarks

This override is called by the workflow runtime to set the workflow variable specified by the Variable property to the value specified by the Value property. This override always returns Closed.

Visual Studio 2005 Designer for Windows Workflow Foundation does not support this workflow activity. This workflow activity is designed to be used in a declarative, code-free workflow, for example, in a workflow you might create by using a rules-based, code-free workflow editor such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007. As a result, the workflow activity might not include functionality, such as registering for workflow events, that might be used in compiled workflow assemblies that are created by using the Visual Studio 2005 Designer for Windows Workflow Foundation.
