Announcing: VS.NET Adapter Framework Wizard Sample and Socket Adapter Sample

  • Article

How about a little: File-New-BizTalk Server Adapter Framework Wizard inside VS.NET

This wizard makes it super easy to getting started with the adapter base classes by stepping you through the creation of both receive and send-side adapters in C# including the receive handler/end-point properties and it uses VS outlining to hide the parts of the adapter framework that are less relevant to building adapters.  All in all this wizard makes it easier to get building with the adapter framework so if you plan to build an adapter grab it today.

Also included are an example socket-based adapter and a whitepaper describing how to use the wizard and building adapters.  This deliverable complements the super detailed whitepaper that Kevin released earlier this month.

Please read the readme, and in particular you must have the SDK Refresh installed as it contains the updated base-classes. Needless to say full source code to the adapter wizard is included and let me know if there are any issues with this first release that need to be addressed. Get it here.

Thanks to Boudewijn van der Zwan from Unisys for his collaboration with me on this one.  Now go build some adapters and enter the developer competition by August 31st (time is ticking), odds are high that you will win big!

    I think that SocketMsgContext.cs is missing from the Adapter Wizard zip file.

    If it doesn't install right go compile the base adapter sample after you have installed the SDK refresh and it should work. If not let me know.

    I used the wizard to create an adapter for Inproc (not isolated) host. When wizard generates the code after successfully going through all the pages, I get following error message "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80041FE0". I don't think I am entering any wrong data in the wizard dialog boxes. When I look at the folders, it creates only a csharp project file.
    For Isolated host the wizard creates the code successfully.
    Any help?? Thanks,

    I just downloaded the Adapter Framework Wizard from http://home.comcast.net/~sdwoodgate/DevelopingaBizTalkServer2004SocketAdapterWithTheAdapterWizard2.zip
    and I noticed that a number of files in DevelopingaBizTalkServer2004SocketAdapterWithTheAdapterWizard2.zip file are password protected.

    Is this the latest version of the Adapter Framework? Is the password in one of the readme files?

    Use WinZip 9 to unpack it. There is something weird with the built in Windows XP zip that causes this problem.
