Suspend and Terminate Sample

  • Article

Download sample

This sample demonstrates the use of two basic activities: SuspendActivity and TerminateActivity.

The SuspendActivity activity causes a workflow to be suspended. It also causes the workflow runtime's WorkflowSuspended event to be raised, at which point the workflow instance can be resumed. The TerminateActivity activity ends the workflow and causes the workflow's WorkflowTerminated event to be raised.

The first activity in the workflow is a SuspendActivity activity. This is followed by a CodeActivity activity, and it ends with a TerminateActivity activity. When the workflow encounters the SuspendActivity activity, the workflow is suspended and the workflow runtime's WorkflowSuspended event occurs. In the WorkflowSuspended event handler, the host resumes the workflow instance by using the WorkflowInstance.Resume method.

The console output from the sample appears as follows:
