Abstract
Sending or receiving messages in a host agnostic way in a continuation based runtime. A method includes defining a contract between a continuation based runtime and host for sending or receiving a message. The contract defines one or more of: details about what should be included in the messages, operations for sending the message; operations for receiving the message, parameters for cancellation of inflight operations, or notifications about correlation information lifetime. The method further includes identifying a correlation handle. The correlation handle uniquely identifies an executing instance of an activity. The method further comprises identifying a bookmark. The bookmark defines where the continuation based runtime should resume after sending or receiving the message. The method further comprises calling the contract using the correlation handle and the bookmark to allow the message to be correctly routed by the host and for the continuation based runtime to be correctly resumed.
