Inheritance Hierarchy:

System.Object
  System.Activities.Activity
    System.Activities.CodeActivity
      Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.AssertIsTrue

Function:

This activity provides a mechanism to check that a specific condition is true and to fail if it is not.

In a Workflow:

This activity provides a convenient mechanism to verify assumptions in your workflow that must be true. If an assumption is false the workflow should fail. Typically failures would represent misconfiguration of the workflow or missing resources that your workflow depends. For example, if your workflow depends on the presence of a particular layer, but that layer cannot be found the workflow cannot continue. This activity lets you validate that the layer exists and provide helpful failure messages to end users and administrators.

This activity is functionally equivalent to an If activity with an empty Else branch and a Then branch that contains Log and Throw activities.
