'Usage
Dim instance As Parallel
'Declaration
<ContentPropertyAttribute("Branches")> _
Public NotInheritable Class Parallel _
Inherits NativeActivity
A Parallel activity operates by simultaneously scheduling each Activity in its Branches collection at the start. It completes when all of its Branches complete or when its CompletionCondition property evaluates to true. While all the Activity objects run asynchronously, they do not execute on separate threads, so each successive activity only executes when the previously scheduled activity completes or goes idle. If none of the child activities of this activity go idle, this activity execute in the same way that a Sequence activity does.
