New System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, Object) to Invoked Workflow

I am collecting three sets of parameters to feed to an invoked async workflow.

 

The first two are objects and the last one is the result of a multi selection from a form, which is also an object.

 

I'm using a Cast<IEnumerable<Object> and assigning the objects selected in the form to be:

 

IEnumerableLocations = SelectedLocations

 

When I invoke the second workflow, the inputs to the second workflow are pasted as such:

 

New System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, Object) From { { "Extent", SelectedExtentobj.ToString }, {"Chem_Name", AEF_Chemical_ToProcess.Tostring},{"AEFLocation", iEnumerable2_AEFLocations.ToString} }

 

But the conversion of this part of the line above is not yielding any values:

 

{"AEFLocation", iEnumerable2_AEFLocations.ToString}

 

My Questions: 

 

1. How do you pass a list of objects contained in the IenumerableLocations as string values to the invoked workflow?

 

2. The invoke activity requires a (IDictionary<String,Object>) input

  Hi Walter,

   

  Just to confirm, iEnumerable2_AEFLocations is the iEnumerable from your Cast activity, correct (IEnumerableLocations), correct?  

   

  I think you've maybe assumed that everything going to the Invoked Workflow needs to be a string, but that isn't the case.  Strings are just used for the argument names.  Use:

   

  New System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, Object) From { { "Extent", SelectedExtentobj.ToString }, {"Chem_Name", AEF_Chemical_ToProcess.Tostring},{"AEFLocation", iEnumerable2_AEFLocations} }

   

  to pass in  iEnumerable2_AEFLocations as is, without the string conversion.  Have an input argument with the corresponding name (AEFLocation) and type (IEnumerable<Object>?) on the workflow that gets invoked.  Then maybe test by logging the value of AEFLocation(0).Tostring in the invoked workflow.

   

  Hope that helps,
