The tutorial at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb798134.aspx about developing the EchoAdapter explains how WCF LOB Adapters are created and used inside a .NET application. What is missing is a tutorial about how this adapter is used inside BizTalk, which can be tricky in some scenarios as well. This article explains how the EchoAdapter is used inside a BizTalk Receive Location go get messages from the OnReceiveEcho operation. Read More »

I just created an installation package for a BizTalk solution which exposes some orchestrations via webservices. Normally that should not be a problem and the MSI package creates the webservices as well, but on my production machine the IIS directories will get different names to the application where I created the installer from.

When the MSI package for a BizTalk solution is created it takes care of the BizTalk proxy webservices as they are used in the application. If you use different path names on the production machine you should read the following article which I have currently found:

For every new project where I have to get an assembly into the GAC I have to look up the post-build events for Visual Studio again and again . So this are the two lines that are needed:

"$(DevEnvDir)..\..\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /u "$(TargetName)"
"$(DevEnvDir)..\..\SDK\v2.0\Bin\gacutil.exe" /i "$(TargetPath)"

So I'll post these two lines for me ... as far as I can remember where I have posted it ... and maybe it is useful to anybody else too.

For a SSIS workshop in Graz I had to use the DataReader-Source in my SSIS packages because for our source database there was no OLE DB driver available. The DataReader-Source could connect via ODBC without any problems. After building some packages we encountered a job that requires changing the SQL statement of the DataReader-Source during execution of the package which is obviously not supported by this component...
