Examples
The following code sample demonstrates creating a While activity.
new While
{
Condition = true,
Body = new Receive
{
ServiceContractName = Constants.POContractName,
OperationName = Constants.UpdatePOName,
CorrelatesWith = poidHandle, // identifies that the UpdatePO operation is waiting on the PurchaseOrderId that was used to initialize this handle
CorrelatesOn = new MessageQuerySet // the query that is used on an incoming message to find the requisite PurchaseOrderId specified in the correlation
{
// Id is the name of the incoming parameter within the PurchaseOrder
{ "PoId", new XPathMessageQuery("sm:body()/defns:PurchaseOrder/defns:Id", Constants.XPathMessageContext) }
},
Content = ReceiveContent.Create(new OutArgument<PurchaseOrder>(po)) // creates a ReceiveMessageContent
}
},
Constructors

Properties
Body |
The Activity to execute in the |
CacheId |
Gets the identifier of the cache that is unique within the scope of the workflow definition. (Inherited from Activity) |
CanInduceIdle |
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the activity can cause the workflow to become idle. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
Condition |
The Activity<TResult> to be evaluated before each iteration of the |
Constraints |
Gets a collection of Constraint activities that can be configured to provide validation for the Activity. (Inherited from Activity) |
DisplayName |
Gets or sets an optional friendly name that is used for debugging, validation, exception handling, and tracking. (Inherited from Activity) |
Id |
Gets an identifier that is unique in the scope of the workflow definition. (Inherited from Activity) |
Implementation |
The execution logic of the activity. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
ImplementationVersion |
Gets or sets the implementation version of the activity. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
Variables |
The collection of Variable objects associated with the While activity. |
Methods
Abort(NativeActivityAbortContext) |
When implemented in a derived class, takes actions in response to the activity being aborted. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
CacheMetadata(ActivityMetadata) |
Not implemented. Use the CacheMetadata(NativeActivityMetadata) method instead. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
CacheMetadata(NativeActivityMetadata) |
Creates and validates a description of the activity's arguments, variables, child activities, and activity delegates. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
Cancel(NativeActivityContext) |
When implemented in a derived class, runs logic to cause graceful early completion of the activity. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
Execute(NativeActivityContext) |
When implemented in a derived class, runs the activity's execution logic. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(NativeActivityUpdateMapMetadata, Activity) |
Raises an event when creating a map for the dynamic update. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(UpdateMapMetadata, Activity) |
Raises an event when creating a map for the dynamic update. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
ShouldSerializeDisplayName() |
Indicates whether the DisplayName property should be serialized. (Inherited from Activity) |
ToString() |
Returns a String that contains the Id and DisplayName of the Activity. (Inherited from Activity) |
UpdateInstance(NativeActivityUpdateContext) |
Updates the instance of NativeActivity. (Inherited from NativeActivity) |
