Microsoft ESB Guidance includes several pipeline components. To use these components in pipelines you create, you must add them to the Toolbox in Visual Studio 2005.

To add the ESB components to the Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox

1. Create a new Empty BizTalk Server project in Visual Studio 2005:
   • On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
   • In the New Project dialog box, click BizTalk Projects in the tree in the left pane, and then click Empty BizTalk Server Project in the right pane.
   • (Optional) If you want to change the name and location for the new project, type the new names in the Name and Location boxes, then click OK.
2. Create a new BizTalk pipeline within the new project:
   • Right-click the project item at the top of the Solution Explorer window, point to Add, and then click NewItem.
   • In the Add New Item dialog box, click Pipeline Files in the left pane, click ReceivePipeline in the right pane, and then click Add.
3. Open the Visual Studio Toolbox, right-click the BizTalk Pipeline Components tab, and then click Choose Items.
4. In the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box, click the BizTalk Pipeline Components tab.
5. In the list of available components, select the check box next to each name that starts with "ESB," as shown in Figure 1.
6. Click OK to add the selected components to the Toolbox.
