The Microsoft ESB Guidance includes a set of helper classes that the other processes, services, and classes within the ESB use. However, these helper classes are public, and you can use them in your own code as required.

In some cases, you must use them to provide parameters of the appropriate type for methods of other classes within the ESB. For example, the Resolver Web service methods return a generic collection of instances of the Resolver class.

The following sections describe the helper classes are included in the Microsoft ESB Guidance:

• The ItineraryHelper Class
• The ItineraryStep Class
• The MapHelper Class
• The Resolver Class
• The ResolverDictionary Class
• The Resolver Manager (ResolverMgr) Class
• The UddiHelper Class
