A few people asked for the code in the session today. It’s all pretty simple but I’ll included it here with a summary of the demos.<\/p>\n
You can watch the session here: http:\/\/channel9.msdn.com\/Events\/TechEd\/Australia\/2013\/ATC421<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first half of the session demo’d the PowerShell activity (http:\/\/fimpowershellwf.codeplex.com\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n I started with the classic “Hello World” written to a text file and the event log: https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/teched-demo-1-hello-world-script<\/a><\/p>\n Next we improved this script to write the Request details to the text file, and to use a WorkflowData parameter in an event log message: https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/teched-demo-1-hello-world-script\/teched-demo-2-script-using-workflowdata<\/a><\/p>\n Then a slightly more realistic example – selecting a unique value from a series of “OptionN” WorkflowData parameters: https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/teched-demo-3-selectunique-ps1<\/a><\/p>\n And here’s a copy of the WFFunctions script I call: https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/teched-demo-1-hello-world-script\/teched-demo-2-script-using-workflowdata<\/a><\/p>\n The coded activity was essentially the same as the Select Unique PowerShell script. I showed how you could use the RequestLoggingActivity from the MSDN walkthrough as a starting point to developing it.<\/p>\n I should add that this is a very simple activity with no error checking or logging – you are of course encouraged to add these to your code.<\/p>\n Workflow activity class: https:\/\/www.wapshere.com\/missmiis\/teched-demo-1-hello-world-script\/teched-demo-4-selectunique-cs<\/a><\/p>\nPowerShell Activity<\/h3>\n
