Many of the MarketPlace solutions have examples of how this is used.  For example, the PLP Solution Helper under Dashboard Extender Business Rules shows how "extenderArgs" is passed.  First part is creating a Public Function where extArgs is defined as ExtenderArgs 

Then, this can be passed as an argument to the BRApi.TaskActivity.UpdateRunningTaskActivityAndCheckIfCanceled Function

Hope that helps

    Thank you. My issue is that I cannot simply add a parameter to the Connector entry point. I need to declare the object and set the TaskActivityID correctly. I just cannot find out what the ID is, as it does not appear to be passed at all into the Connector.

    Dim extArgs As New ExtenderArgs
    extArgs.TaskActivityID = "XXXXX"

        Hi franciscoamores,

        Thank you for this, I'm almost there. I can get the taskID via the your snippet but found out the TaskActivityID property on the ExtendedArgs class is READ-ONLY. I'll keep trying but thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.
