I’ve seen several posts of how to add .cs files to your VS2008 BizTalk projects ( Yossi has a good post ), but none of them shows how to use them, which is not that obvious. First of all, you can not use classes defined in the same project as the orchestration...

What is a BizTalk Application?
18 June 09 03:00 PM | wmmihaa | 4 comment(s)

The absence of guidelines and discussions on this topic puzzles me. As I’ve asked myself this question many times, without coming up with a one-size-fits-all solution. Is it a “Process”, a “System” or perhaps a “Unit of deployment”? The BizTalk Documentation...

BizTalk Server 2009 comes with support for MSBuild. The question is, how can we use it, and how does it help us? The obvious advantage is of course, that this enables Visual Studio BizTalk projects to be deployed to the production environment without...
