I have been working on a BizTalk project for a while now and after a bumpy start all has been going well. The current message that we are dealing with is the receipt and processing of a Purchase Order. The processing and mapping of the purchase order to the SAP orders schema went well and all I need to do was to receive the document from the customer. After a bit of a delay in getting an accurate sample message, I set to work on creating a process for receiving a PO from a Ponton server. On examining ......

While trying to resolve this issue the Microsoft technician asked me to add some XML to the BizTalk configuration file. The XML turns on the .Net Tracing feature that is built into the System.Net, ......
While trying to create a SharePoint 2007 web part I hit a problem that my web searches did not come up with any answers. The problem was I needed the web part that was imbedded in SharePoint to access the query string. I lucked out when examining the objects when debugging the code. The context object is available to the web part and it holds a pointer to the HttpRequests object which includes the Query string property.

Paul Stork was kind enough to provide the answer. Apparently the method declaration changed between SharePoint 2003 and 2007. The reference that I had found was for the older version.
