Several people have asked me about support for MSBuild within BizTalk projects. So I’m happy to see that our team in the UK has just released some MSBuild tasks for BizTalk 2006. They are availalbe on GotDotNet.
(http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegallery/codegallery.aspx?id=b4d6499f-0020-4771-a305-c156498db75e ).
