I've looked through the source code and unfortunately none of the samples
address what I need to do. The things I need to accomplish are:
1. Create a custom activity that is available to SharePoint Designer (done)
2. Create a workflow in SharePoint Designer that uses the activity. The
workflow should activate when an list item is created or modified. (done)
3. Write code in the custom activity to manipulate the list item that
initiated the workflow.

#3 is where I am having the problem. I created a class that derives from
UpdateItemActivity. The base class has properties for ListId, ListItem,
ItemProperties and WorkflowContext. When the activity is called all
properties are updated correctly except ListItem (the SPListItem.ID value
that initiated the workflow) and WorkflowContext. As a result I can't do
anything with the SPListItem that intiated the workflow because I don't know
which one did that.
