Extend Functionality of a Task Activity

Write an extension to add functionality to a Task Execute procedure. Task Execute occurs on the following operations:

• Submit
• Fetch
• Return
• Assign
• Others

This example shows how to perform an action during submit, fetch, or return operations.

Activate the Code

1. Add a class library to your solution. Add the relevant references.
   • PNMsoft.Sequence
   • PNMsoft.Sequence.Forms
   • PNMsoft.Sequence.Security
   • PNMsoft.Sequence.Extension
2. Strongly sign the project.
3. Complete the code in the relevant places, and compile the assembly.
4. Put the assembly in the GAC.
5. Insert a new record into tblTemplateWorkflowExtensions.
   1. In fldType, type the assembly strong name.
   2. In fldGuid, type the GUID in the class decorator.

NOTE: If your code raises an exception, execution will continue.
