Could somebody please help me? I need to call a vb.net function that does
some specific tasks for my organization. The class returns a boolean
indicating the result condition of the function. Is there a way to call
a .Net component and reutrn a result while having Biztalk wait
for the result and procede into a decision with the result variable?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Bill

Use an expression shape. You'll need to add a reference to your vb class
library and then create a variable of the class type in the orchestration
view.  Now you are ready to use your variable in the orchestration shape to
return a boolean.

Thanks Matt for your help. Will the orchestration "pause" until the function
has completed or will it continue on. In other words, will it wait on the
expression shape until it receives the return value?

Thanks

Yes, it will block until the method returns -
