Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004: Creating Schemas - Exercise 1 Creating a New BizTalk Project

(Page 2 of 7 )

Scenario

In this exercise, you will build a new solution for this project by using the Visual Studio .NET 2003 environment. First you will create a new blank solution, and then you will add a new project to the solution. This project will contain the schemas that you will create in the following exercises.

        Tasks              Detailed steps

1. Set up lab.
   
   
   1. Click inside the virtual machine window. 
      
   2. Press Right-ALT + DEL.
      
   3. Type a password of pass@word1 and press Enter.
      
   4. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to and run C:\Labs\Setup Scripts\SetupLab2.A.bat.
      
      This script will erase the existing projects and artifacts in the C:\Labs\Work folder and copy all required artifacts and files for this lab into the C:\Labs\Work folder.
      
      
   5. Close Windows Explorer.
      
2. Create a blank solution.
   
   A solution may include only one BizTalk project, if the solution is relatively simple.
   
   A solution may include many BizTalk projects, if the solution consists of numerous projects that are developed independently and then must be integrated later.
   
   
   1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, and then click Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003.
      
      The Visual Studio .NET 2003 splash screen appears, and then Visual Studio .NET starts.
      
      
   2. Click File | New | Blank Solution.
      
   3. In the New Project dialog box, select the Blank Solution template. 
      
   4. In the Name field, type NWBusinessSolution as the solution name.
      
   5. In the Location field, type C:\Labs\Work
       
      
      
      
   6. Click OK to open the new solution.
      
3. Add a new BizTalk project to the solution.
   
   Selecting the BizTalk project template exposes the BizTalk tools, such as BizTalk Mapper, within the Visual Studio .NET development environment, and invokes a BizTalk-specific compiler.
   
   
   1. In Solution Explorer, right-click Solution 'NWBusinessSolution', point to Add, and then select New Project.
      
   2. In the Add New Project dialog box, select the BizTalk Projects folder. 
      
   3. In the Templates pane, select Empty BizTalk Server Project. 
      
   4. In the Name field, type NWMessaging as the project name.
       
      
      
      
   5. Click OK to open the new project.
      
      A new project is added to Solution Explorer, and the project folder is created in C:\Labs\Work\NWBusinesSolution.
