WorkflowQueuingService.CreateWorkflowQueue(IComparable, Boolean) Method

Definition

Creates a WorkflowQueue by using the specified name and transactional scope.

public:
 System::Workflow::Runtime::WorkflowQueue ^ CreateWorkflowQueue(IComparable ^ queueName, bool transactional);
public System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowQueue CreateWorkflowQueue (IComparable queueName, bool transactional);
member this.CreateWorkflowQueue : IComparable * bool -> System.Workflow.Runtime.WorkflowQueue
Public Function CreateWorkflowQueue (queueName As IComparable, transactional As Boolean) As WorkflowQueue

Parameters

queueName
IComparable

The name of the queue.

transactional
Boolean

A value that specifies whether the WorkflowQueue is visible outside the scope of the current transaction.

Returns

A WorkflowQueue object.

Exceptions

queueName is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

A WorkflowQueue with the name specified by queueName already exists.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates a method, named CreateQueue, that initializes a WorkflowQueuingService object by calling the ActivityExecutionContext.GetService method. The code then uses the Exists method to determine if a WorkflowQueue with a specified name exists. If it does not exist, the code calls the CreateWorkflowQueue method; if it does the code calls the GetWorkflowQueue method.

This code example is part of the File Watcher Activity SDK Sample from the FileSystemEvent.cs file. For more information, see File System Watcher Activity.

private WorkflowQueue CreateQueue(ActivityExecutionContext context)
{
    Console.WriteLine("CreateQueue");
    WorkflowQueuingService qService = context.GetService<WorkflowQueuingService>();

    if (!qService.Exists(this.QueueName))
    {
        qService.CreateWorkflowQueue(this.QueueName, true);
    }

    return qService.GetWorkflowQueue(this.QueueName);
}
Private Function CreateQueue(ByVal context As ActivityExecutionContext) As WorkflowQueue
    Console.WriteLine("CreateQueue")
    Dim qService As WorkflowQueuingService = context.GetService(Of WorkflowQueuingService)()

    If Not qService.Exists(Me.queueName) Then
        qService.CreateWorkflowQueue(Me.queueName, True)
    End If

    Return qService.GetWorkflowQueue(Me.QueueName)
End Function

Remarks

A WorkflowQueue is created with the specified queueName. If transactional is true, the WorkflowQueue is only visible inside the current transaction.
