Activity Class

Creates an activity to do synchronous or asynchronous batch work that can use COM+ services without needing to create a COM+ component. This class cannot be inherited.

System.Object
  System.EnterpriseServices.Activity

Namespace:  System.EnterpriseServices
Assembly:  System.EnterpriseServices (in System.EnterpriseServices.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)]
public sealed class Activity

The Activity type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method Activity Initializes a new instance of the Activity class.
Top
  Name Description
Public method AsynchronousCall Runs the specified user-defined batch work asynchronously.
Public method BindToCurrentThread Binds the user-defined work to the current thread.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method SynchronousCall Runs the specified user-defined batch work synchronously.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method UnbindFromThread Unbinds the batch work that is submitted by the SynchronousCall or AsynchronousCall methods from the thread on which the batch work is running.

The context associated with the activity is completely determined by a ServiceConfig object.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Activity class and use the synchronization service.


    class SvcClass: IServiceCall 
    {
        static int callNumber = 0;
        public void OnCall()
        {
            callNumber++;
            System.Guid contextID = ContextUtil.ContextId;
            Console.WriteLine("This is call number "+ callNumber.ToString()); 
            Console.WriteLine(contextID.ToString());
            System.TimeSpan sleepTime = new System.TimeSpan(0,0,0,10); 
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(sleepTime);

        }
    }
    class EnterpriseServicesActivityClass
    {
        [STAThread]
	static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ServiceConfig serviceConfig = new ServiceConfig();
            serviceConfig.Synchronization = SynchronizationOption.Required;
            serviceConfig.ThreadPool = ThreadPoolOption.MTA;
            SvcClass serviceCall = new SvcClass();
	    Activity activity = new Activity(serviceConfig); 
            activity.AsynchronousCall(serviceCall); 
            activity.AsynchronousCall(serviceCall);
            Console.WriteLine("Waiting for asynchronous calls to terminate");
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
