Activity Creator

Hi Dean,

What is best way to amend/update a previously created custom Activity? 

I mean lets say we created a custom activity. published it and used in UI path project but in future if need anything changing or more logic need adding then is it a case of make change publish the package again and remove existing activity from UIpath project and re add the new one.

What is best practice to acheive this. is there a way so that you publish new package and UIpath project automatically updates it when new version available or something?

will appreciate any suggestions?

Thanks

Kamal

Hi Dean - i downloaded the UiPath Activity Creator as instructed in the Quick Start: 5 minute activity set. After the installation was complete, I restarted Visual Studio 2019 and followed the instructions to find UiPath Activity Creator in the search box but I couldn't find it. Since then, I have searched forums, uninstalled and resinstalled the Activity Creator, and restarted my computer and tried again but I'm facing the same issue. The only difference I see is that I am using the Community version of VS19. Do I need to use the Enterprise addition?

Dean - I could use some guidance here. I followed the steps and downloaded the UiPath Activity Creater exactly as instructed but I do not see UiPath Activity when I create a new project after I have restarted Visual Studio 2019. I searched the usual forums but the answer isn't clear. The one thing I noticed is that the instructions have asked for Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise but I have used the Community version. Could this be the issue? If not, what else could be wrong?

This is going to end up being a silly question. Once I have my activity created and I need to go back and add a few more properties, can I get back into the wizard to do that? If so, how? I know I can just edit the code but I would rather not.

Hi,

I have installed the extension But when I try to use add Activity option, it's disabled i couldn't able to use that.

I wanted to create child activities for a scope activity but so far I have not found any documentation regarding this issue.

I also was wondering if it is possible (reasonable) to extend an existing scope activity like the Excel Application Scope?

How do i add Dropdown to my Custom Activity?

i was able to do that earlier with Enum, but while using Activity Creator, im confused where to put my default Values

Hello Dean,

thanks for your great extension.

Two tiny questions:

1. Could it be possible to create two or more scope activities in one library? At the moment it isn't, only one scope activity can be defined.
2. At the declarations of the variable types I want to use the type dynamic, but I can't find it. So it was necessary to changed it in the code after the definition. Is it possible to extend the choosing of variables about this kind of data type?

Thanks for your effort.

Best regards

hi, I am not able connect my robot to orchastrator ,the icon on the desktop is showing as the robot unavaiable .how to solve the issue

Hi! 

I followed the tutorial on my 1st activity, however the Publish option is missing. 

What do I do?

Please let us know in detail which components of Visual Studio 2019 is required so that it will cut down the installation of unnecessary components.

Any plans extend this to other versions of VS (2017) ?Would think that from a VS Extension perspective, there would not be that much difference between 2017 and 2019...?
