We have a simple PS script to switch Auto-Start on for WCF services running under AppFabric 1.1: Import-Module ApplicationServer Set-ASApplication -SiteName "Default Web Site" -VirtualPath "/x.y.z" -AutoStartMode "All" -EnableApplicationPool Runs fine, unless you are running...

For a while I’ve been working on an idea and whitepaper around analyzing source code to measure the size and complexity. There are some tools around which can do this but my differentiator is that I was interested in BizTalk projects and wanted to look at how these could be measured. Note however this...

I'm a big fan of automated testing which actually proves something. Unit tests may prove all the components in a solution work independently, but that doesn't mean you have a working solution. Integration tests give you confidence in the whole solution, but the cost of having a test suite with...

I recently started work on upgrading a BizTalk 2006 R2 application to BizTalk 2010. I upgraded the solution to VS 2010, deployed the application to my local BizTalk and verified everything was working. The next step was to start work on automating the build and deployment process. A perfect opportunity...

[Source: http://geekswithblogs.net/EltonStoneman ] Web.config transformation is a simple and powerful inclusion in .NET 4.0 for generating configuration files for different environments. It's a templated match-and replace, and you can put together a homegrown alternative with T4 and some scripting...

As all of you know the number one time consuming task in BizTalk is deployment. How many times have you worked your way through the steps below (and even more interesting – how much time have you spent on them …) Build Create application Deploy schemas Deploy transformations Deploy orchestration...

Ive just released a new version of the configuration manager tool which I used in the BizTalk Light and Easy viewing video. This tool is used to help you manage the different settings needed for binding and configuration files across different environments and allows you to connect this with your build...

This sample code outlines how to set up Continuous Integration, Automated Unit Tests, and to create an MSI Package using Team Foundation Server 2008 (TFS) with BizTalk Server 2009. At a high level, this is what is happening in the end to end process. A file is updated and checked in -> A build is...

This sample shows how to use MSBuild (available with Visual Studio 2005) to build, deploy, and undeploy a BizTalk 2006 Solution. This sample does not use an MSI or a binding file and build, binds, and deploys all BizTalk and .Net code using MSBuild Tasks. This sample uses the custom tasks developed by...
