Parallel ForEach

Enumerates the elements of a collection and executes an embedded statement for each element of the collection in parallel. The embedded statements are scheduled together and run asynchronously, but unless the scheduled activities themselves are asynchronous (such as messaging activities, InvokeMethod, or activities that derive from AsyncCodeActivity). They do not run on separate threads, so each successive activity will only execute when the previously scheduled activity completes or goes idle. If none of the child activities of this activity are asynchronous or go idle, this activity execute in the same way that a ForEach activity does.

note

Most of the properties on this activity can be set using an expression. That is why when we set a string value, we must put that string value under "".
