Hi,
I have a custom BTS 2004 adapter. In an orchestration, I have defined a
schema for a message that is sent through my custom adapter.

In the schema I've defined an element's type like this:
<xs:element maxOccurs="1" name="before" type="xs:string" />

Now, in my adapter I can access the message that comes from BTS, no problem.
The problem is that I need to know the type of the element that was defined
in the schema of the message. Idea behind this is that I need to put quotes
around strings but not around doubles.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

you can ask its XmlSchemaDatatype what the
corresponding .NET value type would be.  and for an element of type
"xs:string", you get back System.String.

Hi,
thank you for your response, your instructions will surely help me later on.
But, if I understood the usage of XmlSchemaDatatype correctly, I'd need to
have the scehma in my adapter in order to determine the types of the
elements. Is this correct?

Does BizTalk send the schema or information about the schema along with the
message that is sent to the adapter, or how can the adapter determine the
types of the elements?

Jussi

Hi Jussi,

You shouldn't modify and post-process the document in adapter. An
approriate way to do the job is using a custom pipeline component. You can
simply retrieve the schema by using the method like GetDocumentSpecByName.
