The abstract base class from which workflow loader services are derived.

Namespace:  System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting
Assembly:  System.Workflow.Runtime (in System.Workflow.Runtime.dll)

public ref class WorkflowLoaderService abstract : public WorkflowRuntimeService

The WorkflowLoaderService type exposes the following members.

  NameDescription
Protected methodWorkflowLoaderServiceWhen implemented in a derived class, initializes a new instance of the WorkflowLoaderService class.
Top

  NameDescription
Protected propertyRuntimeGets the WorkflowRuntime for this service. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Protected propertyStateGets the state of the WorkflowRuntimeService. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Top

  NameDescription
Protected methodCreateInstance(Type)Creates a new workflow instance by using the specified workflow Type.
Protected methodCreateInstance(XmlReader, XmlReader)Creates a workflow instance by using the specified XmlReader.
Public methodEquals(Object)Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetHashCodeServes as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodOnStartedWhen overridden in a derived class, represents the method that will be called when the workflow runtime engine raises the WorkflowRuntime::Started event. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Protected methodOnStoppedWhen overridden in a derived class, represents the method that will be called when the workflow runtime engine raises the WorkflowRuntime::Stopped event. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Protected methodRaiseServicesExceptionNotHandledEventRaises the WorkflowRuntime::ServicesExceptionNotHandled event. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Protected methodStartWhen overridden in a derived class, starts the service and changes the State to Starting. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Protected methodStopWhen overridden in a derived class, stops the service and changes the State to Stopping. (Inherited from WorkflowRuntimeService.)
Public methodToStringReturns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

You can derive from this class to create a custom version of the workflow loader.

The workflow loader provides a mechanism for developers to generate workflow definitions, and in turn, instances from other XML formats that are not extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). The user is responsible for parsing their unique XML format, generating an activity tree, and providing the root of the activity tree to the workflow runtime for execution.
