public static System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string,string> GetContext (System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity activity, System.Workflow.Activities.ChannelToken endpoint, Type contractType);

static member GetContext : System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity * System.Workflow.Activities.ChannelToken * Type -> System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string, string>

Public Shared Function GetContext (activity As Activity, endpoint As ChannelToken, contractType As Type) As IDictionary(Of String, String)

Parameters

activity

Activity

Activity whose context information is required.

endpoint

ChannelToken

Endpoint information for correlation with a service.

contractType

Type

The Type of the contract implemented by a service.

Returns

IDictionary<String,String>

A dictionary-based collection that contains XmlQualifiedName keys and their associated String values.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the GetContext method.

SendActivity sendActivity1 = new SendActivity();
ChannelToken channelToken1 = new ChannelToken();
sendActivity1.ChannelToken = channelToken1;
Dictionary<string, string> Context = (Dictionary<string, string>)SendActivity.GetContext(sendActivity1, channelToken1, contractType);

static member GetContext : System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity * string * string * Type -> System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string, string>

Public Shared Function GetContext (activity As Activity, endpointName As String, ownerActivityName As String, contractType As Type) As IDictionary(Of String, String)

Parameters

activity

Activity

Activity whose context information is required.

endpointName

String

Name of the endpoint used for correlation with a service.

ownerActivityName

String

The name of the owning activity.

contractType

Type

The Type of the contract implemented by a service.

Returns

IDictionary<String,String>

A dictionary-based collection that contains XmlQualifiedName keys and their associated String values.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the GetContext method.

SendActivity sendActivity1 = new SendActivity();
Dictionary<string, string> Context = (Dictionary<string, string>)SendActivity.GetContext(sendActivity1, endpointName, ownerActivityName, contractType);
