• Rowanshr Activity naming conventions and ActivityToolboxItem

  What's the convention for naming activities in WWF supposed to be In earlier betas, there was not a clear convention, but I did noticed that all WWF built-in activities are named XxxActivity (i.e. CodeActivity), which sounds like a good naming convention to me.
