BizTalk Server: List of Adapters

Introduction

This article lists all adapters available for BizTalk. The article expands where the adapters can be configured to connect to specific systems or endpoints. Of course, if you are unable to find an adapter to support your requirements, you can develop your own custom adapter using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Line-of-Business (LOB) Adapter SDK .
