Remarks

The workflow runtime calls this override to set the value of a field list item.

This override sets the value of the field specified by the FieldName property for the item specified by the __ListItem property in the list specified by the __ListId property to the value specified by the Value property.

This override always returns Closed.

This method throws an InvalidOperationException exception if provider cannot get a service to perform the operation.

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.
