Receive Class
An activity that receives a message.
Assembly: System.ServiceModel.Activities (in System.ServiceModel.Activities.dll)
The Receive type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Action | Gets or sets the value of the action header of the message. |
![]() | CacheId | Gets the identifier of the cache that is unique within the scope of the workflow definition. (Inherited from Activity.) |
![]() | CanCreateInstance | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether a new workflow instance is created to process the message if the message does not correlate to an existing workflow instance.. |
![]() | Constraints | Gets a collection of Constraint activities that can be configured to provide validation for the Activity. (Inherited from Activity.) |
![]() | Content | Gets or sets the data to receive. The content can be either a ReceiveMessageContent or a ReceiveParametersContent. |
![]() | CorrelatesOn | Gets or sets the MessageQuerySet used to query the message to extract correlation data. |
![]() | CorrelatesWith | Gets or sets a correlation handle that is used to route the message to the appropriate workflow instance. |
![]() | CorrelationInitializers | Gets a collection of correlation initializers that initialize query-based, context, callback context, or request-reply correlations with a Send activity runs. |
![]() | 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 | Gets or sets the delegate that returns an Activity that contains the execution logic. (Inherited from Activity.) |
![]() | KnownTypes | Gets a collection of known types for the operation. |
![]() | OperationName | Gets or sets the name of the operation implemented by the Receive. |
![]() | ProtectionLevel | Gets or sets a value that indicates the protection level for the operation. |
![]() | SerializerOption | Gets or sets a value that specifies the serializer to use for this operation. |
![]() | ServiceContractName | Gets or sets the name of the service contract. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CacheMetadata | Creates and validates a description of the activity’s arguments, variables, child activities, and activity delegates. (Inherited from Activity.) |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (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.) |
![]() | ShouldSerializeCorrelatesOn | Returns a value that indicates whether the CorrelatesOn property has changed from its default value and should be serialized. |
![]() | 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.) |
The Receive activity can receive a single item or multiple items depending on the type of receive content used.
Caution |
|---|
When a workflow contains multiple Receive activities with the same operation name, the CorrelatesOn property must be set to the same set of correlation queries. |
The following example shows how to create a Receive activity and add it to a workflow in code.
Variable<string> message = new Variable<string> { Name = "message" }; Variable<string> echo = new Variable<string> { Name = "echo" }; Receive receiveString = new Receive { OperationName = "Echo", ServiceContractName = "Echo", CanCreateInstance = true, //parameters for receive Content = new ReceiveParametersContent { Parameters = { {"message", new OutArgument<string>(message)} } } }; Sequence workflow = new Sequence() { Variables = { message, echo }, Activities = { receiveString, new WriteLine { Text = new InArgument<string>(env =>("Message received: " + message.Get(env))) }, new Assign<string> { Value = new InArgument<string>(env =>("<echo> " + message.Get(env))), To = new OutArgument<string>(echo) }, //parameters for reply new SendReply { Request = receiveString, Content = new SendParametersContent { Parameters = { { "echo", new InArgument<string>(echo) } }, } }, new WriteLine { Text = new InArgument<string>(env =>("Message sent: " + echo.Get(env))) }, }, }; service = new WorkflowService { Name = "Echo", Body = workflow };
