        Hi all,

        I’m new to BizTalk Server 2004. I’m working on an orchestration that receives a message \”msg1\” which has the following nodes:
        CustomerName
        CustomerEmail

        I want to use the expression tool to extract the CustomerEmail from \”msg1\” then send an email to him using the \”mailto\” feature.

        I couldn’t find any helpful sites that explains how to do that. I guesss I should use Xpath in the first step then \”mailto\” but I don’t know how to do that!

        Can anyone help.

          Thanks greg.forsythe. I will try to do what you have suggested. I hope it works.

          In case if it didn’t, can you provide with websites that explain such things using diagrams because it is always easier this way.

          Many Thanks

              The easiest way is to make the CustomerEmail a distinguished field in the schema.
              Then in the expression shape you can access this data like this:
              strVar = message.CustomerEmail;

              Otherwise you can use the xpath function:
              strVar = xpath(message, \”xpath string\”);

              To specify a destination email address on a dynamic port you set the port address Url:
              portname(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address) = \”mailto:\” + strVar
