        It is case sensitive.

        So variable agentNameStr is different from variable AgentNameStr.

          agentNameStr is a System.String, so you can use any of the methods of this class.

          [code:1:e9a627dc5e]agentNameStr =(System.String)xpath(myMesssage,myXpathStr)
          agentNameStr = agentNameStr.ToUpper();[/code:1:e9a627dc5e]

              Sorry, I tested this on Biztalk 2006 and assumed it was the same on 2004.

              It would appear that Biztalk 2004 classifies strings, ints, doubles, etc as distinguished types and does not allow access to their properties or methods.

              One possibility is to create a helper function in a C# assembly

              [code:1:c69b8c4d44]namespace Biztalk.Utilities
              public class StringFunctions
              {
              public static string ToUpper(string inputStr)
              {
              return inputStr.ToUpper();
              }
              }[/code:1:c69b8c4d44]

              Build and GAC this.
              Add a reference to you biztalk project
              And try this:
              [code:1:c69b8c4d44]agentNameStr =(System.String)xpath(myMesssage,myXpathStr)
              agentNameStr = Biztalk.Utilities.StringFunctions.ToUpper(agentNameStr);[/code:1:c69b8c4d44]

                  Hello,

                  I’ve to extract informations from a message.
                  agentNameStr=(System.String)xpath(myMesssage,myXpathStr)

                  Is it possible, in the Biztalk expression editor, to have the value of agentNameStr in lower case or upper case?

                  Thanks.

                  Raoul

                      Sorry for my message, English is not really my mother tongue.

                      I know that the name of the variable is case sensitive.

                      agentNameStr =(System.String)xpath(myMesssage,myXpathStr)
                      Messages are provided by users ==> the value of the variable may be \”test\” or \”TEST\” or \”Test\” or \”TeSt\”, …

                      My question is: is it possible to transform the value of the agentNameStr to have agentNameStr =\”TEST\”.

                      Thanks

                      Raoul

                          Thanks for your response.

                          I use expression editor Biztalk 2004.

                          agentNameStr is a variable (System.String)

                          When I write a dot after agentNameStr, I see \”illegal dotted name\”

                          The ToUpper() method isn’t reachable.

                              Thanks for your message.

                              With a helper function, it’s OK.
