Hi,

we have created a custom activity but, when we add 2 tasks of this type, we obtain the follow error message during the publishing:

"Validation Failed: There is already an activity named “”. Activity name must be unique"

 How can we solve the problem?

Thank's!

Hi Matteo,

Can you check your activity and adapter code to make sure you aren't hard coding the name property of the activity? If you do so, this could happen. If you don't set the name, the workflow engine will automatically be assigned one to it.

James, 

I seem to be having the same problem. Could you give me more details on where to check for this? Where is this Name property which I'm supposed to leave blank?

I was just copying your example SDK code (ExecuteSQLAction) so I'm pretty sure this is setup the same way in there too.

Thank you!

PS: the only Name I see explicitly specified is in the NWA file (mapped to Allowed Actions->Add Action), but that seems to be a required field.

Hi Igor

In the activity code (maybe in the designer.cs file), look for a line that sets the .Name property. It might be in a method called InitializeComponent.

Also check in AddActivityToWorkflow that you are not setting the .Name property of the activity class.

If all else fails, do a find in file (CTRL + SHIFT + F) in visual studio and search for .Name

Hello, I have solved the issue using  JamesTyzack's tip, simple removing the Name Property set:

private void InitializeComponent()

        {

            /*this.Name = "Activity1";*/

        }

Thank you!
