BizTalk Flat File repeating records problem

You create your flat file schema using flat file schema generation wizard with the help of an instance of the flat file document.

One of my pet peeves about the usage of dynamic send ports in BizTalk Server is the loss of flexibility that comes along with the programming model that is generally accepted when using them (I’m normally quite pragmatic rather than puritanical but for some reason this really grinds my gears). The loss of flexibility typically […]
