Functoids

This topic assumes that you are following a common convention in BizTalk development where each assembly contains a single type of BizTalk artifact (e.g. an assembly for schemas, an assembly for orchestrations, etc.).  If you are combining multiple types of BizTalk artifacts into a single assembly, see Assemblies with Multiple Artifact Types.

To deploy one or more assemblies that contain custom functoids, edit your Deployment Framework for BizTalk project file (.btdfproj) as follows:

1. Set the IncludeCustomFunctoids property to true

The property may be included in any PropertyGroup, but is commonly placed in the first PropertyGroup in the project file.

<PropertyGroup>

 ...

 <IncludeCustomFunctoids>true</IncludeCustomFunctoids>

 ...

</PropertyGroup>

2. Add a CustomFunctoids ItemGroup

The following is a typical example that properly follows the common ItemGroup structure:

<ItemGroup>

 <CustomFunctoids Include="$(ProjectName).CustomFunctoids.dll">

   <LocationPath>..\CustomFunctoids\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>

 </CustomFunctoids>

</ItemGroup>

The following is the default configuration, which corresponds to the optional naming conventions.  This default is in effect if you do not include any CustomFunctoids elements in your project file.

<ItemGroup>

 <CustomFunctoids Include="$(ProjectName).CustomFunctoids.dll">

   <LocationPath>..\$(ProjectName).CustomFunctoids\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>

 </CustomFunctoids>

</ItemGroup>

If you have more than one assembly that contains custom functoids, then repeat the <CustomFunctoids> element for each assembly (usually within the same ItemGroup).
