When I turned on the feature to output an XML documentation file when building my project I’m confronted with a load of warnings that the XML documentation is missing for some method. While it’s nice to see these warnings I didn’t want to see them anymore without lowering the warning level. So I searched the net and found a way to suppress these warnings:

• Go to the properties of your project.
• Go to Configuration Properties | Build
• Enter the number 1591 in the field labelled ‘Suppress Specific Warnings‘

I’m still looking for a complete table featuring all the warnings and their code so I can turn off other warnings when I get them.

From this place I would like to wish both readers of this blog a happy new year. My target for 2006 is to grow this blog and hopefully more people will read it.

I don’t believe any of you guys missed this, but about two months ago Microsoft released the first Beta of BizTalk Server 2006. Boy what a lot improvements are in the package. Here a short list of new or altered features:

• Much easier installation (next, next, finish)
• Single mmc for all your administration needs
• Easy creation of deployment packages (MSI generation)
• Single-touch developer deployment
• In order message processing
• Subscribe to and handle suspended messages
• Browse button for file locations (yeah, it still wasn’t there!)
• MOM improvements
• BizTalk API, so no more WMI hell
• Application concept which keeps all your artifacts together
• Some new and improved adapters
• And a lot more

During my attendance at the BPI & Workflow conference early october I had the change to play with this baby for a while and I must say that the improvements really tilt the product to another level.

In future posts I will dive into these new and improved features and explore them a little.

Today I joined the web-log community and will, as many others, post my personal opinions and findings on various subjects, but specificly BizTalk Server. I’m an Avanade consultant working in the Netherlands and specialized in business process integration using BizTalk Server. This means a lot of information on this blog will be about BizTalk. Aside from that I’ll also keep you updated on some of my hobby’s like Windows Media Center, XBOX360 and whatever else comes to mind.

Because I wanted to start blogging sooner I already have some stuff lying around which I want to put up here. So, in the coming couple of days I will submit there posts which will get me up to speed!
