Item template for creating custom functoid classes

It’s hard to find useful Biztalk-related templates for VisualStudio especially one as useful as this item template that Sandro Pereira brought to my attention for creating Custom Functoid Classes. Thanks Sandro.

I wrote a post about debatching messages from the classic BizTalk SQL adapter.  Since that time, we’ve seen the release of the new and improved WCF-based SQL adapter.  You can read about the new adapter in a sample chapter of my book posted on the Packt Publishing website.  A blog reader recently asked me if I had ever demonstrated debatching via this new adapter, and to my surprise, I didn’t found anyone else documenting how to do this.  So, I guess I will.

First off, I created a database table to hold “Donation” records.  It holds donations given to a company, and I want those donations sent to downstream systems.  Because I may get more than one donation during a WCF-SQL adapter polling interval, I need to split the collection of retrieved records into individual records.

After creating a new…
