I have created a x64 custom pipeline for Excel to XML decoding in BizTalk. I added the dll in the Pipeline Components folder in BizTalk 2013. But when I am trying to add this to the ToolBox it is not showing up. I need to the dll to be 64 bit since my OLEDB adapter is 64 bit and if I use 32 bit it will say provider is not registered on the local machine. Is there any workaround for this?
Make sure the DLL is GACed.
Restart Visual Studio after GACing the DLL (Visual Studio actually keeps this cached).
Right click on the Pipeline Designer toolbox, select Choose Items..., and browse to the DLL using the "Browse" functionality in the selector if it still doesn't show up.
If it still doesn't show up after manually selecting the DLL, it likely means that you are not properly inheriting/implementing the required interfaces and base classes. We could help you with this if you post the class definition (e.g. public class ExcelDecoder : IBaseComponent, etc.
Follow the steps in this article and let us know what happens: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/26404.biztalk-server-deploying-custom-pipeline-components-in-biztalk-server-2006-and-higher.aspx
Disclaimer, I have never built a custom pipeline component targeting x64 specifically.
However, you might be missing another gap. Where exactly are you seeing 'provider not registered'? Design time or runtime? Is the BizTalk Host Instance 32 or 64?

I am getting this error a lot:
Feature '{insert feature here}' cannot be used because it is not part of the
ISO-2 C# language specification
I am working on a .NET 3.5 website that I've worked on on and off for about two years. I've never seen this error before my most recent around of updates. I'm using a decent amount of LINQ coding throughout and I get these errors related to much of the LINQ code. Based on what I've read it seems like even though I'm using .NET 3.5, for some reason it thinks I'm using 2.0. But I can't find anything that says how to fix it.
One example of a problem is that if I try to add a new item to the App_Code directory, I do not get the option to add a LINQ to SQL dbml file.
If anyone can shed some light on how exactly I would fix this, I would much appreciate it.
I was unable to locate an "Advanced" option under the build tab. I have a feeling it is probably because it is a web app. I looked through the web.config and found 2 parts that may be important. Most things referenced 3.5.0.0 or v3.5. The settings are consistent with older backups of the web.config from when there were no errors. By the way, only intellisense and things within VS2010 are giving me problems. The website is running error free.
I have completed a total uninstall and re-install of VS2010 and I'm still having the same issue. I fired up my old install of VS2008 and I am NOT having this issue there. However, I would MUCH prefer to use VS2010 on this project.
I opened the website in VS2010 on my work computer, and there are no errors reported. This is making me think that there is something on my laptop that is causing the problem. As I noted above, I completely reinstalled Visual Studio 2010 and I am still having the problem. What does this leave? I have only one extension installed in VS, and it's the same one at work and on my laptop. Also, I did not reinstall the extension after reinstalling VS, and the problem persists.
Both PC's run Win7 Ultimate. Have VS2008 and VS2010 installed. VS2010 has the same extension installed on both. On my laptop I have the full version of SQL Server 2008 installed, but only the Management Studio on my desktop (we have a server in the office). Would SS2008 have anything to do with it?
Go to your project properties, the Build tab, Advanced - that should allow you to set which version of C# you want to use. It should default to the latest version supported by the version of Visual Studio you're using, but it sounds like at some point you've switched it to ISO-2.
(That's certainly true for Windows projects and class libraries - there may be a different location in a web app. In particular, have a look in Web.config.)
If this has only started happening recently, I'd have a look through your source control history at changes to any configuration files. Also try creating a new project of the same type, and see if that has the same problem.
Jon Skeet's answer is mostly correct. The location for the update is in the "Property Pages" which I got to by right-clicking on the name of the website, clicking Property Pages, the Build item, then target framework.
The extension I use, Solution Navigator, has it's own heading for the solution. Right-clicking on it DOES NOT give me the Property Pages option. By chance I right clicked on the title of the website under the solution heading and was presented with the Property Pages option. In there was the Build tab which contained the target framework option.
Once I finally found the target framework option, it was indeed set to .NET 2.0 for some reason. I changed it to 3.5, reloaded the solution, and now it works great.
Thanks a million Jon for your help and time working with me!!
First of all i want to say that I'm still a beginner in ASP.NET development. I think this is a simple question but I cant find an answer anywhere. The following is my problem:
I have a big ASP.NET project develped in .NET 2.0 . Now I have to update thisProject to .NET 4.0. I think it worked quite well when I loaded and converted it to .NET 4.0 with VS2010 but there is this missing reference.
The missing reference is MSutil.dll and I don't have any clue what that reference is for an I cant find the dll anywhere either. In the cs code its used like this:
using LogQuery = MSUtil.LogQueryClassClass;
using IisW3cLogInputClass = MSUtil.COMIISW3CInputContextClassClass;
using LogRecordSet = MSUtil.ILogRecordset;
using LogRecord = MSUtil.ILogRecord;
Can anyone tell me...
what this reference is for?
where I can find/download it?
how I can include/install it in my solution?
This is used to read the IIS log files and parse them.
To get that DLL follow those steps:
Download the Log Parser package, here. (free download, small .msi file)
Install the Log Parser on the machine with the your project and Visual Studio.
Browse to the location of the installed program and you will see file called "LogParser.dll" in there. Copy the file to some easy location e.g. "C:\Temp" see below why.
Go to All Programs --> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 --> Visual Studio Tools and right click "Visual Studio Command Prompt" then choose Run as administrator.
From within the console type:
tlbimp "C:\temp\LogParser.dll" /out:"C:\temp\Interop.MSUtil.dll"
That's it - after this you will have the lost Interop.MSUtil.dll back on your machine, copy it to your project location and add reference to it like you add to any other external DLL file.
Interop.MSutil.dll is a .NET interface to LogParser.dll, primarily used to parse IIS logs.
To use it, you will need LogParser 2.2 installed and LogParser.dll registered on your machine.
Interop.MSUtil is now available via nuget so you no longer have to create it yourself, but after installation you will have to manually add a reference to the DLL in your solution's packages folder.
After adding the reference, right-click it and set Embed Interop Types to false to avoid receiving an error that the classes cannot be embedded.
It seems is an Interop object.
An Interop object is a bridge between a .Net dll and a COM object

I have a Webpage application which uses in the code behind DLL's and OCX's, some of these DLLs are VB6 ones and the others are C++. At the moment the access to these DLL's / OCX's is through the registy, i would like to change this using RegFree COM.
Problem: All examples i have found until now are demonstrating how to modify an EXE which accesses DLL to Registry Free one using the manifest files, assuming we have one EXE and one DLL the Registration Free access would produce one manifest file for the EXE (in which the dependency to the DLL's mnaifest is set) and another one for the DLL (which references the DLL), in my case i dont have an EXE but a Browser, so i am stuck with the EXE's manifest.
Is it possible to use Registry Free COM in my scenario? if yes where do i set the dependency between EXE->DLL, is it in somewhere Visual Studio??
thank you.
Perhaps you might look at http://www.mazecomputer.com/sxs/help/iis6config.htm which describes the process required.

I try to set up BAM for my BizTalk orchestrations. Everything is OK except the 2 orchestrations which are shown incorrectly in Tracking Profile Editor. For example, I've added an Expression shape with logging stuff to the end of every orchestrations, redeployed the app.
After that I opened all my orchestration one by one to ensure that all of them have that logging expression. For my surprise 2 of them was not changed. Moreover all of those orchestrations reside in one DLL so it cannot be caching issue.
When I went further inspecting the issue I found out that if I rename the type of an orchestration (e.g. "SET_DATACHANGES" --> "SET_DATACHANGES_") it will be shown in TPE with correct, most recent version.
Why does this happen?
The Tracking Profile Editor may be loading an incorrect version of the assembly containing the Orchestration components, either from the GAC or from the file system.
Did you deploy your BizTalk application from within Visual Studio? If so, did you also restart all relevant Host Instances?
Check that you don't have any previous versions of the compiled assembly sitting in a directory that the .Net assembly loader might include in its assembly resolution order.
I made a small console app in VS 2010 and I just published it and went to install it on another pc (Win XP Sp3). The installer made me update the .Net framework, which I did and then when i went to run th second part which actually installs the app I am getting the following modal box:
Unable to install or run the application. the application requires that assembly EnvDTE Version 8.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly cache (GAC) first.
Please contact your system administrator.
What in the world is EnvDTE v8.0.0.0????
This is a tiny app which does a small web call to an api and returns the results. I do make a DB call for a select and and update using some generated code from Codesmith/Nettiers (including enterprise Library). These files are referenced in the app though already.
Any ideas how to fix or work around this?
EnvDTE.dll is, as Zabba said in his comment (not sure why he didn't answer with this) used to automate Visual Studio. For some reason, you have added a reference to this in your project.
Open your solution, look at the References node in all your solution projects, and delete any reference pointing to EnvDTE.
It doesn't normally magically appear in your reference list; you either have to add it, or the project template you used to create your project referenced it, or you added an item whose template added this reference.
