Execute Method: Using Types
Example
protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext)
{
IContextService contextService = (IContextService)executionContext.GetService(typeof(IContextService));
IWorkflowContext context = contextService.Context;
ICrmService crmService = (ICrmService)context.CreateCrmService();
DynamicEntity de = new DynamicEntity("new_customentity");
if (myBoolean != null)
{
de["new_boolean"] = myBoolean;
}
if (myDateTime != null)
{
de["new_datetime"] = myDateTime;
}
if (myDecimal != null)
{
de["new_decimal"] = myDecimal.Value.ToString();
}
if (myFloat != null)
{
de["new_float"] = myFloat;
}
if (myLookup != null)
{
de["new_lookup"] = myLookup;
}
if (myMoney != null)
{
de["new_money"] = myMoney;
}
if (myNumber != null)
{
de["new_number"] = myNumber;
}
if (myPicklist != null)
{
de["new_picklist"] = myPicklist;
}
if (myStatus != null)
{
de["new_status"] = myStatus.Value.ToString();
}
if (myString != null)
