How to implement a dropdown list in BizTalk custom pipeline


I have search for how to implement a dropdownlist of choose in a BizTalk custom Pipeline that's show in the BizTalk Admin console part of the property windows, but the samples doesn't work for BizTalk 2020.

Can anyone show me a working sample for BizTalk 2016/2020 how to implement dropdown Enum list that shows in the admin console.

I have made a Enum and implemented a public property which return my Enum type, but this doesn't work.


Solution

  • You can't

    Even Microsoft couldn't implement that properly as per the bug on my blog BizTalk 2013 R2 known bugs, issues & quirks where the flat file assembler has a drop down that does not work in the Admin Console.

    CHANGING THE TARGETCHARSET IN THE XML OR FLAT FILE ASSEMBLER HAS NO EFFECT IN THE BIZTALK ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE

    Also, see this earlier post for BizTalk 2010 How to add drop down property into biztalk pipeline component and the linked MSD thread that explains that although you can get the drop down working in Visual Studio, in the Admin Console it will be an Int or String
