To test certain functionality we want to use a task with the logic type 'GUI code'. Apart from these 2 lines in the documentation, we can't find anywhere how to get such a task working.

Does anyone have examples of tasks with the type 'GUI code'?

Hi Marc,

GUI code tasks are all but deprecated.

These tasks are built using C# code (kind of similar to object model extenders) and placed in the Windows- or Web GUI folder of the GUI to be executed at runtime.

However, these days a wrapped service called via an http connector is in almost all situations a better option to execute arbitrary C# code in your application.
