![]() | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |

![]() | OnInitialize(HandleInitializationContext^) | Registers the CorrelationHandle with the workflow runtime.(Overrides Handle::OnInitialize(HandleInitializationContext^).) |
![]() | OnUninitialize(HandleInitializationContext^) | Unregisters the CorrelationHandle with the workflow runtime.(Overrides Handle::OnUninitialize(HandleInitializationContext^).) |

Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) provides four types of correlation: Content Based Correlation, Request-Reply Correlation, Durable Duplex Correlation, and Context Exchange Correlation. For more information about correlation, see Correlation Overview, the specific correlation types mentioned previously, and the correlation samples located in the Services [WF Samples] node of the WF samples.
The runtime uses the CorrelationHandle for correlation if it is present, otherwise the CorrelatesWith property of the messaging activity will be used. If both are absent, the ambient handle provided by CorrelationScope or the workflow service is used.
The following example shows how to set the CorrelationHandle on a SendReply activity.
new SendReply { DisplayName = "Send Adjusted Cost", Request = prescriptionRequest, // Initialize the orderHandle using the MessageQuerySet to correlate with the final GetAdjustedCost request CorrelationInitializers = { new QueryCorrelationInitializer { CorrelationHandle = orderHandle, MessageQuerySet = GetOrderQuerySet } }, Content = SendContent.Create(new InArgument<Order>((e) => order.Get(e))) }
