Overview
Microsoft® BizTalk Server® 2002 ships with built-in parsers and serializers that parse and serialize documents from or to the following formats:
- Extensible Markup Language (XML)
- Delimited or positional flat files
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) X12 or EDIFACT
To handle custom document formats not listed above, you need to write either a custom parser or serializer Component Object Model (COM) components or both. The parser implements a corresponding interface —IBizTalkParserComplement, and the COM components implements the IBizTalkSerializerComponent interface. Previously, because none of these interfaces support automation, writing custom parsers and serializers could only be achieved in the C or C++ languages. However with the built-in support for COM interoperability in the Microsoft .NET Framework, you can now write custom parsers and serializers for BizTalk Server 2002 in any .NET-compliant language, such as C#, Visual Basic® .NET, Visual J#™, and so on. This paper describes how to write a pair of custom parser and serializer components using Visual C#.
