Examples

The following code shows how to create activities and add them as children to a composite activity and set the value for Name.

This code example is part of the Throw SDK sample and is from the ThrowWorkFlow.cs file. For more information, see Throw Sample.

this.CanModifyActivities = true;
System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind activitybind1 = new System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind();
this.throwActivity1 = new System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ThrowActivity();
activitybind1.Name = "ThrowWorkflow";
activitybind1.Path = "ThrownException";
//
// throwActivity1
//
this.throwActivity1.Name = "throwActivity1";
this.throwActivity1.SetBinding(System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ThrowActivity.FaultProperty, ((System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind)(activitybind1)));
//
// ThrowWorkflow
//
this.Activities.Add(this.throwActivity1);
this.Name = "ThrowWorkflow";
this.CanModifyActivities = false;

Me.CanModifyActivities = True
Dim activitybind1 As New System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind()
Me.throwActivity1 = New System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ThrowActivity()
activitybind1.Name = "ThrowWorkflow"
activitybind1.Path = "ThrownException"
' 
' throwActivity1
' 
Me.throwActivity1.Name = "throwActivity1"
Me.throwActivity1.SetBinding(System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ThrowActivity.FaultProperty, activitybind1)
' 
' ThrowWorkflow
' 
Me.Activities.Add(Me.throwActivity1)
Me.Name = "ThrowWorkflow"
Me.CanModifyActivities = False

Remarks

Default value for this is the empty string.

This property is a meta property, which means it cannot be changed at runtime. Meta properties do not change after a property instance is created at runtime, so the property must be set to a literal value at design time.
