codeactivity -vs- other activity classes for processes?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello - I've implemented a few processes that call classes that implement CodeActivity, which implements System.Activities.Activity. Several other classes implement System.Activities.Activity, like NativeActivity and DynamicActivity.  Do you find yourself delegating most of your process code to CodeActivity classes? Or do you find yourself commonly using other Activity classes?

    Thanks Scott, the following url also seems to confirm CodeActivity as the single Activity to be used for CRM processes:

    community.dynamics.com/.../workflow-persistence-in-crm-2011.aspx

    "if you build new custom workflow activities for CRM 2011 you should use WF4 (System.Activities.CodeActivity)"

    Are you aware of any online Microsoft documentation that specifically spells out the rules/constraints around this?

    CodeActivity is the only base class you should use for custom workflow activities. I don't think any others are supported by the WF Sandbox.
