I am writing a custom activity using imperative code. In my compsoition, I have Receive activity as a one of the composed activity. In that activity, I want to set ServiceContractName and OperationName property dynamically, meaning, when developer who is consuming my custom activity have to set. So I declared one property and one InArgument for this purpose. I assign this property and Argument value to the local (sequence varriable). When I try to assign these varriables to Receive activity properties, I am getting compile time error. How to assign a Varriable to string and XName properties of Receive activity.
return new Sequence
{
Variables = { operationName, serviceContractName},
Activities =
{
new Assign<string>
{
To = new OutArgument<string>(serviceContractName),
Value = new InArgument<string>(ctx => ServiceContractName.Get(ctx))
},
new Assign<string>
{
To = new OutArgument<string>(operationName),
Value = new InArgument<string>(ctx => OperationName)
},
new Receive
{
ServiceContractName = serviceContractName,
OperationName = operationName,
CanCreateInstance = true,
Content = new ReceiveMessageContent
{
Message = new OutArgument<Request>(request)
}
}
},
}
};
You can't do that. The ServiceContractName and the OperationName are not InArguments but normal properties and they have to be set at design time, not at run time.
