Examples

The following code example inspects the WorkflowApplicationIdleEventArgs passed into the Idle handler of a WorkflowApplication instance. In this example the workflow going idle has one Bookmark with a name of EnterGuess, owned by an activity named ReadInt. This code example is based off of How to: Run a Workflow, which is part of the Getting Started Tutorial [.NET Framework 4.5]. If the Idle handler in that step is modified to contain the code from this example, the following output is displayed.

BookmarkName: EnterGuess - OwnerDisplayName: ReadInt  

wfApp.Idle = delegate(WorkflowApplicationIdleEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (BookmarkInfo info in e.Bookmarks)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("BookmarkName: {0} - OwnerDisplayName: {1}",
            info.BookmarkName, info.OwnerDisplayName);
    }

    idleEvent.Set();
};
