How to Open the Functoid Toolbox

After you create a map and select the source and destination schemas, you can place functoids on the grid. The functoids appear in the Visual Studio Toolbox, one toolbox tab per functoid category.

To open the functoid toolbox

• In Visual Studio, with a BizTalk map open and active in the Editor window, on the View menu, click Toolbox.

  Note

  You can also use Ctrl+Alt+X or the Toolbox tool on the Standard toolbar to show the functoid toolbox.

  Important

  If the functoid tabs are not visible in the toolbox, ensure that you have BizTalk Mapper open by having selected a BizTalk map for editing in the main editing window. If the toolbox is still not visible, see Troubleshooting BizTalk Server Tools.

  Important

  Sometimes, when you modify the default settings of the toolbox, you do not see some/all the functoids in the toolbox. Then, in Visual Studio, click Tools menu, and then click Choose Toolbox Items. In the dialog box, go to the BizTalk Mapper Functoids tab. Ensure all the functoids are selected, and click OK.

  If you still do not see all the functoids, see Troubleshooting BizTalk Server Tools.
