RuleActionTrackingEvent Sample

Article
09/01/2009

This sample demonstrates how you can use tracking to determine rule actions in your workflow. Window Workflow Foundation provides an extensible tracking infrastructure that enables you to filter various tracking events based on a tracking profile. When rules execute, a RuleActionTrackingEvent object is sent as a user track point.

The sample consists of a custom console tracking service (added to the WorkflowRuntime in program.cs) and a workflow that contains a PolicyActivity activity. The rule set is evaluated when the activity is executed. The defined rules set a discount value based on the order value and customer type. The ConsoleTrackingService includes a tracking profile that includes a UserTrackPoint that covers all user track points and writes the content of the tracking data to the console.

RuleActionTrackingEvent has two properties: RuleName and ConditionResult. These properties are printed to the console upon execution of the rule.
