Throw Activity Properties

The properties of Throw activity are listed in the following table and can be edited in the Properties grid on the right pane.

 

Property Name	Usage
Breakpoint	Select this option to mark this activity as a pause point while debugging the process. At this point, the process freezes during execution allowing you to examine if the process is functioning as expected. In large or complex processes, breakpoints help in identifying the error, if any.
Commented	Select this option to mark this activity as inactive in the entire process. When an activity is commented, it is ignored during the process execution.
DisplayName	The display name of the activity in the flowchart designer area. By default, the name is set as ThrowActivity. You can change the name as required.
ExceptionText	The message to display as the exception. Alternatively, you can specify the message in the Enter Expression field of the activity block. The message specified in the Properties grid reflects in the activity block and vice versa.
