Default Wrap Character Type (Node Property of Flat File Schemas)

  • Article

 

Use the Default Wrap Character Type property to specify, for the entire schema, how an alternative wrap character will be expressed in the Default Wrap Character property and in the underlying XSD representation.

Applies to Nodes of Type

Schema

Category

Flat File

Allowed Values

Drop-down list choice Description
Character Indicates that you will provide a default wrap character as a character in the Default Wrap Character property, which will be formatted as a character in the XSD representation of the schema.
Hexadecimal Indicates that you will provide the hexadecimal value ("0xNN") of a default wrap character in the Default Wrap Character property, which will be formatted as a hexadecimal value in the XSD representation of the schema.
None Removes the corresponding annotation in the XSD representation of the schema, if any, specifying that there is no default wrap character for the entire schema. You must explicitly specify an appropriate wrap character for every Record node within the schema.

Selecting Default Wrap Character for the value of the Wrap Character property of any of the Record nodes within the schema will result in a compilation error.

Default Value

None, resulting in no annotation being added to the XSD representation of the schema.

XSD Persistence

As the value of the wrap_char_type (="char" or "hex") attribute of the schema/annotation/appinfo/schemaInfo element.

Remarks

You can examine and set this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select the Schema node in BizTalk Editor and you have configured the Flat File Extension option for the Schema Editor Extensions property of that node.

If you configure this property with a value of Character or Hexadecimal, then you can configure the Default Wrap Character property in one of these two formats.

Setting the Default Wrap Character Type property to None removes the annotation from the schema. The parser interprets the absence of the annotation as the default case and uses the Default Wrap Character, if set. For more information about the parser processing fields, see the DocumentSchema.ParseFieldInfo Method.

You can set the equivalent properties on individual Field Element and Field Attribute nodes using the Wrap Character and Wrap Character Type properties. If you set default values for the schema, the default values override values set on individual nodes.
