Sample code illustrating an activity that executes CPU for a long period

  • Sample code illustrating an activity that executes CPU for a long period. This allows for CPU intensive tasks or external long running web services to be called from within a WF activity. Long is a subjective amount of time, but a rule of thumb is 1/10th second or more. Paul Andrew has written a short article about patterns for activity development which includes this sample as a long running activity. The sample is available in this download as both C# and VB.NET.
