NativeActivity Class
Abstract base class for custom activities that implement execution logic using the M:System.Activities.NativeActivity.Execute(System.Activities.ActivityExecutionContext) method, which has full access to the runtime’s features.

| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | NativeActivity() | When implemented in a derived class, creates a new instance of the derived class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | 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. |
![]() | 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.(Overrides Activity.Implementation.) |
![]() | ImplementationVersion | Gets or sets the implementation version of the activity.(Overrides Activity.ImplementationVersion.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Abort(NativeActivityAbortContext) | When implemented in a derived class, takes actions in response to the activity being aborted. |
![]() | CacheMetadata(ActivityMetadata) | Not implemented. Use the CacheMetadata method instead.(Overrides Activity.CacheMetadata(ActivityMetadata).) |
![]() | CacheMetadata(NativeActivityMetadata) | Creates and validates a description of the activity’s arguments, variables, child activities, and activity delegates. |
![]() | Cancel(NativeActivityContext) | When implemented in a derived class, runs logic to cause graceful early completion of the activity. |
![]() | 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. |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(NativeActivityUpdateMapMetadata, Activity) | Raises an event when creating a map for the dynamic update. |
![]() | OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(UpdateMapMetadata, Activity) | Raises an event when creating a map for the dynamic update.(Overrides Activity.OnCreateDynamicUpdateMap(UpdateMapMetadata, Activity).) |
![]() | 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. |
The following code sample demonstrates creating a class that inherits from NativeActivity(Of TResult). This example is from the Custom Composite using Native Activity sample.
public sealed class MySequence : NativeActivity
{
Collection<Activity> children;
Collection<Variable> variables;
Variable<int> currentIndex;
CompletionCallback onChildComplete;
public MySequence()
: base()
{
this.children = new Collection<Activity>();
this.variables = new Collection<Variable>();
this.currentIndex = new Variable<int>();
}
public Collection<Activity> Activities
{
get
{
return this.children;
}
}
public Collection<Variable> Variables
{
get
{
return this.variables;
}
}
protected override void CacheMetadata(NativeActivityMetadata metadata)
{
//call base.CacheMetadata to add the Activities and Variables to this activity's metadata
base.CacheMetadata(metadata);
//add the private implementation variable: currentIndex
metadata.AddImplementationVariable(this.currentIndex);
}
protected override void Execute(NativeActivityContext context)
{
InternalExecute(context, null);
}
void InternalExecute(NativeActivityContext context, ActivityInstance instance)
{
//grab the index of the current Activity
int currentActivityIndex = this.currentIndex.Get(context);
if (currentActivityIndex == Activities.Count)
{
//if the currentActivityIndex is equal to the count of MySequence's Activities
//MySequence is complete
return;
}
if (this.onChildComplete == null)
{
//on completion of the current child, have the runtime call back on this method
this.onChildComplete = new CompletionCallback(InternalExecute);
}
//grab the next Activity in MySequence.Activities and schedule it
Activity nextChild = Activities[currentActivityIndex];
context.ScheduleActivity(nextChild, this.onChildComplete);
//increment the currentIndex
this.currentIndex.Set(context, ++currentActivityIndex);
}
}
