We need to develop some custom functoid expecting to use .NET to do so.



We have tried the DateFunctoidNet demo located in the BTS2002 Microsoft
BizTalk Server\SDK\Messaging Samples\DateFunctoidNet folder.



This demo was converted & compiled with VS2003 without problem.

This demo was installed without problem following the step include in the
project Readme.txt file.



All is OK, no error on compilation or registration, but the new functoid
never appears

in the BTS Functoid Palette.



Is anybody have already tried this demo?

Is it supposed to work as it or some steps are missing?

Have you registered AssemblyPathFinder.dll or AssemblyPathFinderProxy.dll
(located in the \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\SDK\Messaging
Samples\DateFunctoidNet\ directory)?  These dlls must be registered in
order to be able to see the bitmap for .NET functoids in the BizTalk Mapper.

Thanks for your reply!

What I have done is the following:

regasm AssemblyPathFinder.dll
gacutil /i AssemblyPathFinder.dll
regsvr32 AssemblyPathFinderProxy.dll

gacutil /i datefunctoidnet.dll
regasm datefunctoidnet.dll /verbose /tlb:datefunctoidnet.tlb
Merge DateFunctoidNet.reg     ie right click DateFunctoidNet.reg, then
select Merge

All command completed without error.

But I'm not sure the problem was related with the bitmap.

I have done a small app in C# base on the
Microsoft.BizTalk.BTSCannedFunctoidsLib.
In this app I used the CannedFunctoidClass class and its related member and
attribute like:

FunctionsCount
GetScriptBuffer
GetFunctionParameter
GetFunctionDescripter
...

With this application I'm able to list and get parameter from the 66
functoid included in BTS2002.

But after the installation of the datefunctoidnet functoid
my app FunctionsCount return 66 functoid
and the GetFunctionDescripter return 4 functoid related to
FUNC_CATEGORY_DATETIME_FMT
as before the datefunctoidnet functoid installation.

One guest:
In the datefunctoidnet code, the FUNCID used is 1100.
Is some restriction using this ID?

The example-functioid apperas after that "DateFunctoidNet.reg"-file
has been executed. This is what i did;
1.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\regasm
 C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\BTSCannedFunctoi
dsLib.dll

2.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\gacutil /i
 C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\BTSCannedFunctoi
dsLib.dll

3.
regsvr32 AssemblyPathFinderProxy.dll (modify the path)

4.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\csc /r:system.dll
/ r:C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\BTSCannedFunct
oidsLib.dll /d:DEBUG /debug
/define:DEBUG=1 /target:library
/ out:C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\DateFunctoid
Net.dll
/ win32res:C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\datefun
ctoidnet.res
C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\*.cs

5.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\gacutil /i
C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\datefunctoidnet.dll

6.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\regasm
C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\datefunctoidnet.dll /verbose
/ tlb:C:\Temp\DateFunctoidNet\datefunctoid
net.tlb
pause:

7.
Run "DateFunctoidNet.reg"

This is working for us to.



If we follow the exact pattern of this sample, the DateFunctoidNet functoid
become available in the

BizTalk Mapper.



But it's not what we want.



We want to be able to design ours own functoid using ours develo tools ie
VS2003 and framework 1.1.



In regard with this, all seems to be OK.

The project conversion, the compilation, the installation/registration are
done without error.



But at end, we where unable to access ours functoid from BizTalk Mapper,

and we have no indication why.
