Author How to call .NET Assembly from Orchestration
Help Needed

Hi Guys,

How can I call my .NET Assembly from Orchestration, Is the expression shape
the only option we have. Most important thing is, this assembly takes
connection string information from config file. So, where should i keep this
config file in my biztalk solution and in deployment scenario.

Please help me.

You can call from the expression shape, or the message assignment shape if
you are constructing a message. Ensure you'r assemblies are "GACked", and use
an atomic scope shpae if you need to create objects that are not serializable
(best to go with static methods maybe).

You can use the BtsNTSvc.exe.config for this. I think you need to restart
the BizTalk host service, as it does not update the values like in asp.net.

a seperate one....
