Could you provide more details on what you're trying to do - The 'Custom action' for 'while loop' is a bit vague..– TeckniXSep 2, 2011 at 13:40

I am implementing custom action e.g. While field __ equals InActive Call Workflow. I want to execute the activity in a Loop continously till the condition is false.– radhikaSep 5, 2011 at 11:02

Unfortunately Sharepoint SP2 removed the loops within workflows, as it was unfortunately pretty easy to create infinite loops.
See: Service Pack 2 prevents an on-change workflow from starting itself
If you scroll towards the bottom, you will also get an idea of how to create a similar while loop - The issue is that you have to keep track of 2 different workflows, dealing with 2 custom list. Bascially one triggers another one, creating the effect of a 'continuous' loop.
