I’ve been creating a lot of Native Activities lately and to do it I would add a new item to my project using the Code Activity template.  I kept wishing for a Native Activity template so now I’ve created one.

Install the Native Activity Template From Visual Studio 2010

You can search and install templates directly from within Visual Studio

1. Start Visual Studio 2010
2. Create a Workflow project (Console, Library etc.)
3. Right click on the project and select Add / New Item
4. In the New Item dialog select Online Templates and select the workflow category (or search for Native Activity)
   
   
   
   The Visual Basic template in the Online Template gallery (yes there is a C# template as well – this list is filtered based on the project type)
5. Click on Add to install it on your computer
6. Click Install to complete the installation
   
   

Install the Native Activity Template from Visual Studio Gallery
