XSLT Transform Component (BizTalk Server Sample)

The XSLT Transform Component sample demonstrates how to write a custom pipeline component to transform an XML message using XSLT.

What This Sample Does

The sample accomplishes the transformation with the following steps:

An XML document is retrieved from a folder.
The pipeline transforms the XML document into the HTML body of an e-mail message using Transform.xsl.

<Samples Path>\Pipelines\XslTransformComponent\

The following table shows the files in this sample and describes their purpose.

File(s)	Description
AssemblyInfo.cs	C# assembly file.
Cleanup.bat	Sample cleanup file.
Confirmation.xsd	Sample schema file.
DocInstance.xml	Sample .xml file to transform.
SendHtmlMessage.btproj	BizTalk project.
Setup.bat	Configuration batch file.
Xml2HtmlSendPipeline.btp	BizTalk Server pipeline file.
XslTransform.csproj	C# project.
XslTransformComponent.sln	Sample solution file.
XslTransformComponentBinding.XML	XML binding file.
XslTransformer.cs	C# source code.
Transform.xsl	XSLT file used to transform DocInstance.xml.

Use the following procedure to build and initialize the XSLT Transform Component sample.

In a command window, change directory (cd) to the following folder:

<Samples Path>\Pipelines\XslTransformComponent

Run the file Setup.bat, which performs the following actions:

Creates the input (\In) and output (\Out) folders used in the sample.
Generates a new key file.
Builds and deploys the XSLT Transform Component pipeline.
Copies the built pipeline component to the <Installation Path>\Pipeline Components folder.
Creates the send and receive ports.

Note
You should confirm that no errors were reported during the build and initialization process before attempting to run this sample.

Note
To undo changes made by Setup.bat, you must first stop and restart the host instance from the BizTalk Server Administration MMC console. Next, run Cleanup.bat. You must run Cleanup.bat before running Setup.bat a second time.

Use the following procedure to run the XSLT Transform Component sample.

Use the following procedure to configure the XSLT Transform Component sample to work with an SMTP server.

Reconfigure the XSLT Transform Component send port to use an SMTP transport type.
Configure the SMTP setting by changing the address (URI) parameters to match your SMTP configuration.

Use the following procedure to run the XSLT Transform Component sample with output to an SMTP port.

Copy DocInstance.xml to the \In folder.
Examine the results in the mail client for the recipient that SMTP is configured to send to.
