Access IOrganization service within workflow

Back to Blog Listing


In order to access the IOrganizationService from within a CodeActivity class (i.e. the .NET class file type to allow custom workflow steps) the following structure should be used:

Protected Overrides Sub Execute(executionContext As CodeActivityContext)
 
  'Create the tracing service
  Dim tracingService As ITracingService = executionContext.GetExtension(Of ITracingService)()
 
  'Create the context
  Dim context As IWorkflowContext = executionContext.GetExtension(Of IWorkflowContext)()
  Dim serviceFactory As IOrganizationServiceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension(Of IOrganizationServiceFactory)()
  Dim service As IOrganizationService = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId)
 
  Dim entity As New Entity("contact")
  entity.Attributes("firstname") = "testing"
  Dim entityId As Guid = service.Create(entity)
 
End Sub
