Running the Designer Extensibility Sample
The Designer Extensibility sample uses two sample extenders to demonstrate how you can provide design-time configuration options for custom resolvers and for itinerary services.
To run the Designer Extensibility sample
Start Visual Studio.
In Visual Studio, point to New on the File menu, and then click Project.
Select the C# Class Library template, type ItineraryLibrary in the Name box, and then click OK.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the ItineraryLibrary project, point to Add, and then click New Itinerary.
In the Name box, type TestItinerary, and then press ENTER.
In the Toolbox, click an On-Ramp model element, and then drag it to the design surface.
In the Toolbox, click an Itinerary Service model element, and then drag it to the design surface.
In the Toolbox, click another Itinerary Service model element, and then drag it to the design surface.
In the Toolbox, click an Off-Ramp model element, and then drag it to the design surface.
In the Toolbox, click the Connector tool, and then drag a connection between the OnRamp1 model element and the ItineraryService1 model element.
In the Toolbox, click the Connector tool, and then drag a connection between the ItineraryService1 model element and the ItineraryService2 model element.
In the Toolbox, click the Connector tool, and then drag a connection between the ItineraryService2 model element and the OffRamp1 model element.
Click the OnRamp1 model element, and then in the Properties window, set the Extender property to On-Ramp ESB Service Extension.
Set the BizTalk Application property to Microsoft.Practices.ESB.
Set the Receive Port property to OnRamp.Itinerary.
Click the ItinearyService1 model element, and then in the Properties window, set the Extender property to Sample Orchestration Itinerary Service Extension.
Note
This is the custom extension installed as part of the Designer Extensibility sample. It allows you to add properties to the property bag passed to an orchestration-based itinerary service.
Set the OtherValue property to 1.
Set the ServiceName property to Microsoft.Practices.ESB.Services.Routing.
Set the SomeValue property to 2.
Right-click the Resolver collection of ItineraryService1, and then click Add new Resolver.
Click Resolver1, and then in the Properties window, set the Resolver Implementation property to Sample Resolver Extension.
Set the SomeResolverValue property to test, and then set the version property to 1.0.
Click the ItineraryService2 model element, and then in the Properties window, set the Itinerary Service Extender property to Off-Ramp Itinerary Service Extension.
Set the Off-Ramp property to OffRamp1 > Send Handlers.
Click the OffRamp1 model element, and then in the Properties window, set the Extender property to Off-Ramp ESB Service Extension.
Set the BizTalk Application property to GlobalBank.ESB.
Set the Send Port property to DynamicResolutionOneWay.
Right-click the design surface, and then click Export Model.
Examine the generated XML.
Note
Notice the PropertyBag element and the properties it contains. Also notice the Sample resolver connection string and how it was configured based on the properties entered.
