I struggled for the reason why CSC.EXE results in an assembly differently from VS IDE, because VS IDE generates an assembly of 20KB while CSC.exe compiles it in 8KB with the same source code. I checked the compiler options for the two compilers, but I...

I created a logman setting file as follows: typeperf -q | where { $_ -like "\Phy*" } | foreach { '"' + $_.Trim() + '"' } > counter.txt But, logman raised an error reading “Invalid counter path” when I tried to update a counter data collection with...

It's been long time since I posted the last one. I was pretty busy in working on the WCF adapter documentation for R2. In addition to the WCF adapters, R2 also has EDI, RFID, and WCF/WinWF interceptors. I think this release has a very high quality. The...

I think there will be no engine changes in R2, but this product refresh will include a number of interesting features and enhancements. For example, R2 adds EDI, RFID, WCF and WF BAM Interceptors, the WCF adapter and supports the R2 Adapter Framework...

$args is a special variable, an array of all arguments passed to a function on the command line. But, $args is always treated as an array in PowerShell. And It may cause an interesting side effect when passing $args to a downstream function. Suppose we...

I created a script named s.ps1 to define a function named s1. # s.ps1 function s1 { // } But, after I run this script, the s1 function is not available in the global scope like: .\S.ps1 S1 s1' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable...

For me, it was not apparent to create multiple dimensional or jagged arrays in Powershell. I tried the following command, but it only made a single dimensional array: $b = ((‘a’,’a’)) $b.Count 2 Bruce Payette gave me the answers for this basic...

When I installed Windows SDK to test Indigo stuff, I found another toy named Powershell. Powershell is the new name of MSH code named Monad . It is a shell or command interpreter based on .NET framework. I thought the cmd.exe shell is too simple for practical...

Enterprise Library 2.0 was released early this year. The library consists of several application blocks for so called enterprise level applications; logging, data access, security, configuration, exception handling, and so on. BizTalk Server 2006 provides...

I read a great article titled " Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection pattern " written by Martin Fowler. But, as for me the interface injection pattern was a little confusing. I wrote a sample code in C# based on his article, but...

5 more BizTalk samples are live in the MSDN Web site . I wrote three of them as follows: 1) SSO as Configuration Store This sample provides an implementation of a sample class and a walkthrough that demonstrates how to use the SSO administrative utility...

Have you heard of Consolas ? Consolas has intentionally been developed for programmer’s needs and it will be bundled with Windows Vista. Many people seem to love it, but I think it isn’t allowed to distribute it themselves. I copied the font from the...

I think the BizUnit is a must tool for BizTalk developers. But, as for me, it isn’t easy to memorize the syntax for the steps. I had to switch back and forth between a working solution and the BizUnit sample solution to copy and paste the XML nodes. So...

I thought WWF would be similar to HWS, but I was wrong. After spending some times to use WWF, I realized that it is so cool and I'm convinced that it will be great if the next version of BTS adopts the technology. I think it provides a good programming...

It has been long time since I posted. I’ve been too pressed with my works and survival in the whole new country. By the way, the BizTalk Server Developer Center and the BizTalk Server TechCenter are renewed with BizTalk Server 2006. Unfortunately...

Yesterday some customers told me that they were suffering from “Completed with discarded messages” in an orchestration using the sequential convoy. They asked me how to solve. I heard from other customer about the same issue last year. I think it is the...

I guess the BizTalk Server 2006 CTP (Community Technical Preview) version will be distributed to TechEd 2005 attendees. I used be involved in a customer program introducing BizTalk Server 2006 to real customers. When they faced the major features of BizTalk...

Originally BizTalk Server 2004 has the limitation of adding new EDI schemas. However SP1 now allows to add new schemas and the KB article 840113 describes how to implement EDI schemas for BizTalk. I had implemented new EDI schemas with the KB article...

I've been very busy for last two months. During that time, I made a converting tool for BizTalk Base EDI Adapter. Originally, BizTalk Server 2004 had the limitation of adding new EDI schemas. However, BizTalk Server SP1 now allows to add new schemas....

This MOC style lab is the second one of the series of labs that I'll write about how to develop the BizTalk adapters. Especially, this one will show you how to develop BizTalk In Process File Receive Adapter in C#. The purpose of this lab isn’t to provide...
