Description Shenxue Zhou CLA 2011-03-09 17:44:22 EST 
I've run into a situation where I need to be able to reference parent element in expression. As an example: ${parent().FromActivity}-${ToActivity}. We need to extend the expression language to support this case. Note that it needs to be recursive so I can refer to grandparent, greate-grand parent node etc.

Implemented Parent() and Root() functions. Added corresponding unit tests and a blurb in the what's new doc.
Comment 2 Shenxue Zhou CLA 2011-06-02 17:50:59 EDT 
Verifed.
