Can we use .NET 2.0 Assemblies in BizTalk 2004?
I would like to invoke a static method from a component developed in .NET
2.0. The BizTalk 2004 project wouldn't let me add a reference to the .NET 2.
0
assembly which is in GAC.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Sudhir.

Sudhir,

BizTalk Server 2004 runs in the 1.1 CLR, so it is not possible to invoke a
.NET 2.0 method from within this process directly.  To work around this,
you'll need to place the .NET 2.0 assembly out-of-process and invoke the
method some other way, e.g web services, COM+, or otherwise.

Two things -

1) you always need an assembly to reside in the file system (outside the
gac) in order to reference it
2) you won't be able to reference your 2.0 assembly from vs2003
