		<title>Using XSLT 1.0 to summarize a node-set with comma separated values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pure XSLT is very powerful but it definitely has its weaknesses (I’ve written about how to extend XSLT using mapping and BizTalk previously here) … One of those are handling numbers that uses a different decimal-separator than a point (“.”).
Take for example the XML below
&#60;Prices&#62;
  &#60;Price&#62;10,1&#60;/Price&#62;
  &#60;Price&#62;10,2&#60;/Price&#62;
  &#60;Price&#62;10,3&#60;/Price&#62;
&#60;/Prices&#62;
Just using the XSLT sum-function [...]]]></description>

		<title>Streaming pipeline and using context ResourceTracker to avoid disposed streams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently there’s been a few really good resources on streaming pipeline handling published. You can find some of the here and here.
The Optimizing Pipeline Performance MSDN article has two great examples of how to use some of the Microsoft.BizTalk.Streaming.dl classes. The execute method of first example looks something like below.
public IBaseMessage Execute(IPipelineContext context, IBaseMessage message)
{

		<title>Checking if BizTalk binding file is up-to date during deployment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As all of you know the number one time consuming task in BizTalk is deployment. How many times have you worked your way through the steps below (and even more interesting &#8211; how much time have you spent on them …)

Build 
Create application 
Deploy schemas 
Deploy transformations 
Deploy orchestration 
Deploy components 
Deploy pipelines

		<title>BAM tracking data not moved to BAM Archive database</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a few really good blog post that explains BAM – like this from Saravana Kumar and this by Andy Morrison. They both do a great job explaining the complete BAM process in detail.
This post will however focus on some details in the last step of the process that has to do with archiving [...]]]></description>

		<title>What kind of integration patters do you implement in BizTalk?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to divide BizTalk based integrations into three different patterns.

Point-to-point integration 
Broker-based integration 
ESB-based integration 

I am sure someone could come up with fancier names but I will in this post try and dig into each of them, explain what I mean by them. I will also try and highlight some issues with each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Third party BizTalk monitoring tools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ll start this post by clarifying two important things

I am involved in the development and marketing of “BizMon”. Therefore I am biased and you have to decide for yourself if that affects the content of the post. As always it is best to try it for yourself and see if it is useful for you. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tips and tricks on BizTalk generated SOAP Web Services</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traditional SOAP Web Services might feel kind of old as more and more people move over to WCF. But a lot of integration projects still relay heavily on old fashion SOAP Web Services. 
Using BizTalk generated Web Services however has a few issues and one needs to add a few extra steps and procedures to [...]]]></description>

		<title>BAM ate my XML declaration!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are integrations which only purpose is to move a file just as it is. No advanced routing. No orchestration processing. No transformation. Just a simple port-to-port messaging scenario. 
It is however still a good idea to monitor these just as one would monitor a more complicated integration. We use BAM to monitor all our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Receiving scheduled MsgBoxViewer-reports via e-mail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended a session the other day at TechDays here in Sweden with Microsoft Escalation Engineer Niklas Engfelt. The session was about troubleshooting BizTalk and Niklas of course showed the wonderful MsgBoxViewer (MBV) tool by Jean-Pierre Auconie. If you haven&#8217;t tested and looked deeper into this tool you need to do so. It&#8217;s great!

		<title>Better performance in batch imports to SQL Server using BizTalk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my years of BizTalk development I&#8217;ve been warned of a couple of scenarios that the product wouldn&#8217;t handle very well. Yesterday another of those scenarios turned out to kind of false and, if done right, not really a problem at all. 
The scenario I&#8217;m talking about is a batch import of data to SQL [...]]]></description>
