| Hi
I have an orchestration where i receive a string that looks something like
this...
item1;item2;item3;item4......and so on.
As I understand it Biztalk doesn't support arrays (?!). How would you
suggest that I solve the following problem. I would like to loop through the
string while there are values in it using ; as a delimiter. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I guess your best bet is using a helper class.
create a .net class that will accept the string and parse it to an array
(or any other collection)
you can then expose the current item, items count and current iteration
and use these in the orchestration

No, you're not. in fact there have been quite a few posts about it in
the past I think, but that's how it currently.
I've heard the case might be different in 2006, but did not try it yet.

This is a quick code snippet I've written for you
bare in mind this is nothing even close to a production quality, only an
example to the approach.
but you can have a class like:
public class ArrayHelper
{
string[] myArray=null;
public int Length
{
return myArray.Length;
}
public ArrayHelper(string arrayString, char delimiter)
{
myArray=arrayString.Split(delimiter);
}
public string GetItem(int location)
{
return myArray[location];
}
}
then in the orchestration you can initialize it
MyArrayHelper = new ArrayHelper(<your string>,'<your delimiter>');
in the loop condition you can use
loopCounter<=MyArrayHelper.Length
and then inside the loop you can access a single item
MyArrayHelper.GetItem(loopCounter)
you will need to set the variables MyArrayHelper of type ArrayHelper and
loopCounter of type Int.
I hope you will find this useful

| I've done what you recommended but now there seems to be another problem.
This is the error I get when I'm testing my solution...
File or assembly name ArrayHelper, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
Exception type: FileNotFoundException
Source: mscorlib
Target Site: System.Type InternalGetFieldType()
Any tips?
Thanks

You have to make sure you add your assembly with the ArrayHelper to the GAC.
to do so you will need to add a strong name (in the assemblyinfo file
add the path to your key file)
