Syntax

'Declaration
<ValidationOptionAttribute(ValidationOption.Required)> _
Public Property TaskProperties As SPWorkflowTaskProperties
    Get
    Set
'Usage
Dim instance As UpdateTask
Dim value As SPWorkflowTaskProperties

value = instance.TaskProperties

instance.TaskProperties = value

[ValidationOptionAttribute(ValidationOption.Required)]
public SPWorkflowTaskProperties TaskProperties { get; set; }

Property value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowTaskProperties

Remarks

Use the ExtendedProperties property of the SPWorkflowTaskProperties object to include custom metadata for your task. The ExtendedProperties property takes a System.Collections.Hashtable object.

When you write to the ExtendedProperties hash table, SharePoint Foundation examines each key-value pair and performs the following function:

• If a value has a key-name that matches the name of a field on the task content type, that value is written to the matching field.

• If a value's key-name does not match any of the field for that task, the value is written to the SPListItem.Properties object of that task. The SPListItem.Properties property returns a System.Collections.Hashtable object. Writing data to this object makes it available through the SharePoint Foundation.
