Microsoft® BizTalk Server 2006 includes several pipeline samples in its software development kit (SDK). This section provides detailed information about the functionality that each pipeline sample demonstrates, instructions for building and running the sample, and the results you can expect.

 In This Section

• Aggregator (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates message aggregation functionality using orchestrations and pipelines.
  
• Arbitrary XPath Property Handler (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to write a custom pipeline component to promote specific properties on an XML document submitted to BizTalk Server. Property promotion is accomplished using an XPath expression.
  
• Pipelines\AssemblerDisassembler (BizTalk Server Samples Folder)
  
  • FlatFileReceive (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to process delimited flat file messages into the equivalent XML messages using BizTalk Server pipelines.
    
  • EnvelopeProcessing (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to process flat file messages into XML messages with envelopes using BizTalk Server pipelines.
    
  • FlatFileSend (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to process XML messages into the equivalent positional flat file messages using BizTalk Server pipelines.
    
• Composed Message Processor (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to processes individual line items from aggregated messages using composed message processing.
  
• CustomComponent (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to create and use a custom pipeline component that modifies a streamed message.
  
• Custom Party Resolution (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to write a custom pipeline component to resolve a custom party.
  
• MIME (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how messages can be MIME-encoded using BizTalk pipelines.
  
• Schema Resolver Component (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to extend the functionality of the BizTalk Server 2006 flat file disassembler component.
  
• XSLT Transform Component (BizTalk Server Sample). Demonstrates how to write a custom pipeline component to transform an XML message using XSLT.
