I want to write a generic custom pipeline component that writes values into
promoted properties that are defined using a generic schema (e.g.
custompipelineproperties.xsd), i.e. not the schema of the inbound message. I
imagine my component to be very similar to the MIME/SMIME Encoded pipeline
component which promotes values into properties defined by the schema
http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTal...ime-properties.

I have successfully written the custom pipeline component and it appears to
work, but I cannot access the properties within an Expression shape in the
BizTalk Orchestration designer. The drop-down list for the context propertie
s
of a message include all the properties that are promoted by adapters and
pipeline components (such as the MIME/SMIME Encoded pipeline component). How
can I modify this list such that at design time, the properties in my
custompipelineproperties.xsd are there as well ??

Thanks,

Mark.

you can try promote the property by creating a property schema,
that will allow you access the properties from orchestration expression;

see the biztalk documention for how to create a property schema
