The activitypointer is used when you need to add goups to a field (i,e required attendees on a appointment or to/from fields on a email)
Created a vb.net version also for anyone that obviously develops in it , but also for the users of SQL SSIS 2005 and below (C#.net scripting only came in SQL Server 2008)
The examples show you how to create a CRM appointment and populate the required attendees field.
C#.net
activityparty cont = new activityparty();
cont.partyid = new Lookup();
cont.partyid.Value = new Guid("Contact GUID");
cont.partyid.type = EntityName.contact.ToString() ;
appointment appt = new appointment();
appt.requiredattendees = new activityparty[] { cont };
appt.description = "This is a description";
appt.subject = "Test Appointment making use of activityparty"
service.create(appt);
VB.net
Dim cont As activityparty = New activityparty
cont.partyid = New Lookup
cont.partyid.Value = New Guid("CONTACT GUID")
cont.partyid.type = EntityName.contact.ToString()
Dim appt As New appointment
appt.requiredattendees = New activityparty() {cont}
appt.desctription = "This is a description"
appt.subject = "Test Appointment making use of activityparty"
service.create(appt)
Enjoy
