SetStateActivity - set TargetStateName during Execution of Statem...

Hi all,

I have a statemachine. In several states I can get into a "special" state. From the "special"state I have to go back to the state I came from.
Now there is the Statemachine property PreviousStateName available.
I wanted to set the Dependencyproperty "TargetStatename" of the SetStateActivity to that PreviousStateName by a codeactivity.
But setting the targetstatename of the setStateActivity is only allowed during DesignTime...

Now I tried to reflector the SetStateActivity(in order to create my own SetState) but its quite a deal of effort since its got a helper procedure tail in several workflow helperclasses which are internal.

Are there already any activities around which fullfill the requirements above?
Any hints, ideas?

thanks

David

You might try sending the SetStateEventArgs to the SetStateQueue like the StateMachineWorkflowInstance does.

SetStateEventArgs args1 = new SetStateEventArgs(targetStateName);

//get workflow queing service and get the SetStateQueue.

q.Enqueue(args1);
