Rehosted Designer - ForEach Save Problem

Question

When saving an Activity generated within the rehosted designer, the contents of a a ForEach or ParallelForEach are not saved.  If saved from VS it is loaded fine but not saved.  Is this a known bug ?

Answer 1

It's probably a binding issue caused by the ActivityAction delegate having a null handler. Those things are a pain to debug. Are you using a ForEach from a rehosted toolbox added like this?

new ToolboxItemWrapper(typeof(System.Activities.ForEach<>))

please instead try using:

new ToolboxItemWrapper(typeof(System.Activites.Core.Presentation.Factories.ForEachWithBodyFactory<>))

which will create you a more fully initialized ForEach<> activity that the designer can work with.

Answer 2

This gives a could not load type error.  I changed:

 

 

 

<sadt:ToolboxItemWrapper AssemblyName="{StaticResource AssemblyName}" ToolName="System.Activites.Statements.ForEach"/>

to

 

 

 

<sadt:ToolboxItemWrapper AssemblyName="{StaticResource AssemblyName}" ToolName="System.Activites.Core.Presentation.Factories.ForEachWithBodyFactory"/>

Answer 3

Hi Mike,
I think the issue there is probably that the AssemblyName also needs changing. The factory class is actually in System.Activities.Core.Presentation assembly.
