8/13/2008 How to encrypt sections within BtsNtsvc.exe.config file?

Posted at: 8/13/2008 at 7:35 AM by saravana
It’s one of the common requirements in some of the projects I've worked on to put some kind of configuration information in the BizTalk config file, things like appSettings, connectionString etc. Majority of the time it will be ok to leave the value in plain text inside the xml based config file (for example by using integrated authentication connection string instead of providing username/password), and designing in the way so that you don’t put sensitive information inside the config file.

6/2/2007 Determine whether the BizTalk assembly is Debug or Release build at runtime.

Posted at: 6/2/2007 at 7:56 AM by saravana

So, we can use the simple technique of reflection to determine whether the assembly... [More]

Posted at: 2/19/2007 at 7:32 PM by saravana
Charles Young has written this article "Receive Pipeline Woes V2"  few months back. It's one of the very good articles out there, which explains some of the insights of BizTalk Server internals. But under the heading "Seekable Streams" it appears that the description is not correct. Recently, I came across a strange problem with custom pipeline component and Biztalk MAPs. My custom pipeline component does very simple task something like re... [More]

2/5/2007 My white paper published on msdn.microsoft.com/biztalk homepage

Posted at: 2/5/2007 at 6:38 PM by saravana
Last month I've written an article about Using design time properties in Biztalk Server. Initially the white paper was published on the download section of Microsoft site and there was no link from Biztalk pages. This morning I bumped into msdn looking for some other resource and found my article right on the home page of biztalk as a very first link Thanks Luke and editors for making this happen. Nandri!
