I have run into an instance where I need to terminate and raise an exception from within an XSLT template, based on values (or lack thereof) within the source document. The XSLT transform is running within a BizTalk map. The secret is the following little-known XSLT construct, which can be conditionally...

Create dynamic attributes and elements in XSLT in a dynamic way by using attribute value templates. A great way to loop through elements and create attributes.

I like to share a website I frequently use to format any code (C#, XML or T-SQL) to HTML for using on my blog. Other possibilities are to format VB, HTML or msh, but I haven't used these myself yet. You can also add things like line numbers, or use alternating backgrounds. And to modify the colors...

One of my colleagues struck a problem trying to map to a rather nasty schema shown on the right below; The user element has an attribute of business-partner-no and there is a child element of the same name. No matter what you do if you try to drag a link to the child element called [...] Blog Post by...

Hey people, I am busy with an application that reads the domains and there users from an active directory. This is done by a WCF-service that is consumed by the orchestration. I verified that the service is working correclty, and tested my xpath queries with an c# application, and with xslt. The schema...

I had a requirement to map a buyer only if it was the same buyer throughout the entire document. The reason for this was that in the source document the buyer was defined in a sub sub sub note of a document and in the destination it occurred only once...( read more )

We all know that using XSLT inside a map can be very usefull to do stuff that's very hard to do with the mapper itself. Sometimes using XSLT it is the only way things can be done. I find myself struggeling each time to figure out how specific tasks...( read more )

Dear All, I am developing an application where I am getting a mail triggered from SQL server store procedure. I set up the POP3 adapter in receive pipeline and I need to do HTML formatting for that mail now in biztalk server then I need to send it through a SMTP server in send pipeline. I have set up...

I’ve posted a few times before on how powerful I think it is in complex mapping to be able to replace the BizTalk Mapper with a custom XSLT script (here’s how to). The BizTalk Mapper is nice and productive in simpler scenarios but in my experience it break down in more complex ones and maintaining [...

Hi, This http://www.stylusstudio.com/xsllist/200312/post30300.html tutorial can help you. Read it carefully, and just suite for your schemas and field names. Use scripting functoid, else you can write external assembly and call it from your map. Good luck.

I have a schema based on a flat file that looks like this: Start¤2008-10-12¤ 1¤2008-10-12¤299¤2008-01-12¤2008-10-01¤Testdata¤TheSupplier¤2008-11-30¤ 1¤2008-10-12¤299¤2008-01-12¤2008-10-01¤Testdata¤TheSupplier¤2008...

Just a small comment on that - If you can, you should avoid using '//' in xpaths anywhere. In many cases this is just laziness which results in a significant performance hit. when you use '//' the xsl engine has to scan the entire document to find 'Page' elmenets; if you know...

Can you post the destination XSD so we can work with you on that? Mike

I want to transform a source schema which contains a <choice> with 2 records into a destination schema which also contains a <choice> with 2 records. A way to do it is using a Logical Existince functoid and a Value Mapping fuctoid foreach element. But the two both contains a large structure...

Debatching can be done several different ways in BizTalk 2004. With a few message box hops, debatching can be done with a few maps and an envelope schema in pure messaging. This sample shows a map for Sorting, a map for Grouping, and the Envelope for debatching. This sample will work in BizTalk 2004...

This mapping sample shows how to create repeating nodes from flat data inside the mapper. This sample also shows the use of some custom XSLT code inside the BizTalk mapper. This sample works with BizTalk 2004 and BizTalk 2006. Get more information from the original blog post on this topic: http://www...
