Process Methods

The Process type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAddNewActivity
Creates a new activity and adds it to the process.
Public methodAddVersion(Boolean, DataObjectType)
Adds a new DataObjevtVersion object the Versions collection. If copyValues is true, all property values on the current version are copied to the new version.
(Inherited from DataObject.)
Public methodAddVersion(Boolean, Boolean, DataObjectType)
If a data object must be modified then a new version must be added first. This method adds a new version to the data object.
(Inherited from DataObject.)
Public methodAssignPropertyValue
Tip: use the indexer property to access property values instead of using this method. Assigns a property value to the LastVersion of the object. The value can be of type: string, int, datetime, double, bool, timespan, AppStringContainer, SetPropertyValue, ReferencePropertyValue or null. The value type is dependant on the DataType of the property
(Inherited from DataObject.)
Public methodAssignReferencePropertyValue
Assigns a reference property on LastVersion.
(Inherited from DataObject.)
Public methodAssignReferencePropertyValues
Assigns a reference property on LastVersion. Tip: use the indexer property to access property values instead of using this method.
(Inherited from DataObject.)
Public methodBreakSecurityInheritance
Breaks the enheritance of security. If InheritsSecurity=true no adjustments must be made to the security. This method is used to set InheritsSecurity=false.
(Inherited from DataObject.)

Public methodClone
Public methodCloneProcess
