BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack: Conversion Functoids for BizTalk Server 2020

This post was originally published here

After migrating the BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack, now is time to dedicate my time to another one: BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack. And to start I have chosen the Conversion Functoids.

Conversion Functoids

Conversion functoids are used to convert one type of data to another type, for example between windows date into Unix date. Or use to convert between one format of a specific type of data into another format of that type, for example converting DateTime (Short Time Pattern, Short Date Pattern, Full DateTime Pattern, Universal Sortable DateTime Pattern, …) .

This project includes the following Custom Functoids:

Convert from human-readable to epoch date Functoid: This functoid allows you to convert a traditional date (Human Readable Date) into a Unix date (Epoch Date).
Convert from epoch to human readable date Functoid This functoid allows you to convert a Unix date (Epoch Date) into a traditional date (Human Readable Date).
Convert DateTime format Functoid: This functoid allows you to convert DateTime format.
Convert to a Number Functoid: This functoid allows you to convert a string to a number (integer).

BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack

BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack is a set of libraries with several useful functoids to include and use it in a map, which will provide an extension of BizTalk Mapper capabilities.
