I'm trying to find a way to "programmatically" initialize
a correlation set without using a Send or Receive Shape.
After the correlation set is initialized (in an Expression
Shape perhaps?) I'd like to use a Receive shape
and "Follow" the initialized correlation set.

I understand properties in referenced .NET classes can be
used for correlation if they're properly configured:

using System;
using Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes;
namespace BizTalk.Correlation
{
[Serializable]
public class DOTNETCorrelation
{
[PropertyAttribute(typeof(string))]
public string TaskID;
}
}

I then compile the project containing "DOTNETCorrelation"
and add a reference to the .dll in my BizTalk2004
orchestration project.  Based on this, how do I A) map
TaskID in my .NET Class to a property schema and B)
initialize the correlation set containing TaskID?

Programatically initializing a correlation set is not supported.
