Using the Pipeline Component Wizard

Lately, I've been getting lots of e-mail from people asking me how, after installing the Pipeline Component Wizard, they can actually use it. To do so:

  • Open up Visual Studio .NET 2003

  • Press CTRL+SHIFT+N to create a new Project

  • The New Project dialog appears, containing a tree to the left of the screen, called "Project Types".

  • In the project types tree, choose "BizTalk Projects"

  • In the templates screen, on the right of the dialog, the available BizTalk templates appear.

  • Within the templates screen, choose "BizTalk Server Pipeline Component Project"

  • Type a name and location for your new project, and press OK

  • The wizard will appear, follow the screens and choose your options for the new Pipeline Component you're about to build.

  • After finishing the wizard, it will generate the solution, project files, resources, assemblyinfo and code for the options you selected within the configuration pages of the wizard.

You're done, now a fully functional pipeline component according to your specifications has come to life, implement the code you'd like the component to perform, compile it, etc.

  • Excellent Martijn! I have a question, why doesn't the pipeline appear when configuring the send port? Is there a step I am missing?

    Thanks,
    TOM

  • Hi Tom,

    Thanks, please ensure you deploy the pipeline, it should show up in the appropriate port, depending on the type of pipeline :)

  • How do you install it to begin with? Is there anything else needed besides GAC'ing the dlls?
