Reference Workflow Activity

Description:

References another workflow.

Inheritance Hierarchy:

System.Object System.Activities.Activity
   System.Activities.NativeActivity
      Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.ReferenceWorkflow

Function:

This activity loads and executes a workflow defined by a XAML file. The current workflow can supply inputs and read outputs from the child workflow.

Unlike the Invoke Workflow and Invoke Workflow Async activities, this activity permits the referenced workflow to contain client/external activities (or other activities that cause workflow persistence).

In a Workflow:

The Reference Workflow activity can be used to run another workflow. This may be useful when authoring several workflows that have shared logic. The shared portion can be placed in a single workflow and other workflows can reference the shared workflow with this activity.
