Attribute to describe a task structure. Allows describing a task's structure with XML (see the example below) and/or specifying a Navigator type to be used by this task.

If you want to describe a task's structure with an XML string then the MVCConfiguration.TaskInfoProviderType property should point to TaskInfoByXmlAttributeProvider or DefaultTaskInfoProvider types.

Examples

This is how a task structure is described with XML string inside the [Task] attribute:
CopyC#
[Task(@"
    <interactionPoints>
        <interactionPoint view = ""View1"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController1"">
            <navTarget trigger = ""To View2"" view = ""View2""/>
            <navTarget view = ""View3""/>
        </interactionPoint>
        <iPoint view = ""View2"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController2"">
        </iPoint>
        <interactionPoint view = ""View3"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController3"">
            <navTarget trigger = ""To View2"" view = ""View2""/>
        </interactionPoint>
    </interactionPoints>
")]
class MyTask1 { }
 Note that it is possible to use either interactionPoint tag or its short analog iPoint. Next example shows how to define adjacent interaction points with transitions possible between each two of them.
CopyC#
[Task(@"
    <interactionPoints>
        <interactionPoint view = ""View1"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController1"">
            <navTarget trigger = ""View2"" view = ""View3""/>
        </interactionPoint>
        <iPoint view = ""View2"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController2""/>
        <iPoint view = ""View3"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController3""/>
        <interactionPoint view = ""View4"" controllerType = ""MyApp.MyController3""/>
    </interactionPoints>
    <adjacentPoints>
        <iPointRef view = ""View1""/>
        <interactionPointRef view = ""View2""/>
        <iPointRef view = ""View3""/>
    </adjacentPoints>
    <adjacentPoints>
        <iPointRef view = ""View2""/>
        <interactionPointRef view = ""View3""/>
    </adjacentPoints>
    <adjacentPoints>
        <iPointRef view = ""View3""/>
        <iPointRef view = ""View4""/>
    </adjacentPoints>
")]
class MyTask2 { }
