I've been working on a few BizTalk projects lately and been making use of Scott Colestock 's Deployment Framework for BizTalk 2006 . The framework is great and handles about 95% of what I need to do with a BizTalk project's build script. One of the things that I wanted to do was to create a reference...
On one of my current projects we are trying to use WCF with BizTalk 2006. In order to do this I was trying to implement the WCF adapter for BizTalk Server 2006 community project. The project comes with a nice sample application that demonstrates how everything works. However, when I tried to start the...
I found out today that I passed that BizTalk 2006 exam (70-235) that I took back in June. This gives me yet another certification to add to my list: I'm guessing that a lot of the BAM/Rules questions were cut from the exam otherwise I wouldn't have passed. :)
The new BizTalk 2006 exam for the MCTS: BizTalk 2006 cert is now available on the Vue website in its beta form (you just can't schedule it until May 24). I know there is a promo code out there somewhere that will let you take this exam for free but so far I haven't found it (I've tried combos of 235...
I really like what the on10 guys did with the on10 website. The login UI is the best I've seen and I really like the mashup they do on the profile page. I like it all so much that I've been working hard to duplicate a lot of it for use on some of my hobby sites. I've emailed back and forth with the on10...
I am at the PDC have a great time. I haven't posted anything simply because I've been way too busy and so I'm just soaking everything in. I'm planning on posting my thoughts soon (if you care). In the meantime here are a few links that point to things I've been checking out: DataWorks Blog on ADO.Net...
From Clemmens talking about technology overload: Enter VS2005 and the summary of trying to achieve the same knowledge density is: “Frustrating”. I feel his frustration. I remember going to PDC 2003 and realizing that it was getting very hard to keep up on all the new stuff coming out of Microsoft...

Just finished writing some test code for some shared utilities on my current project. The project is a BizTalk project so the utilities can be hit from multiple threads and from multiple boxes (with a shared database box). So I needed to test for these scenarios. The multiple threads was pretty easy...
As Christof notes here : If you ever need to have access to the context of a message, outside of the BizTalk Server orchestration environment, you may do so by passing the message as a parameter of type Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.XLANGMessage to a method in an expression shape. However, once you have...
via David Hurtado : There is a new whitepaper on MSDN about messaging. It's called BizTalk Server 2004: A Messaging Engine Overview , but it's quite a deep dive into messaging. From my point of view, the most interesting stuff is how it explains the Pub/Sub internals in terms of MessageBox flow and stored...
