How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Meet the Biztalk Solution Designer team. Eddie definitely has the most colorful shirt we've seen on Channel 9 so far.

Glad to see you landed at Microsoft doing cool things.
Interesting idea, I will put in the queue (mind you it is a long queue;))
Great hearing from you again
:OWell howdy dude, it has been a while. Brings back the memories.
I saw your live presentation of this at PDC05. Very cool!
Have you seen BRIDGEWERX? A very similar visual designer built on top of BTS 2004.

rasx, BizTalk vs. SQL Server 2005...
Ah the every popular discussion up here at Microsoft. I would say that yes there is some overlap but each are optimized for particular tasks. I would say that if you have one, use it. If you can't do what you need to, then start investigating the other one.
Mitch, glad you liked.
Just looked at BridgeWerx site, looks like nice stuff. Too bad we didn't run into each other at the PDC, it would have been nice to sync up. Till the next time...
Keep up the great work
Cheers

Yes indeed, your solution looks really cool.
From my experience with BizTalk, such visual tools really help move to the next level of developer experience.
Let me pass on some of my user experiences to help move BizTalk to the next level on the functionality aspects as well.
They are as follows:
1) Enhancements on Publish Subscribe Model. (PAS)
The success of any PAS based EAI/ESB product depends mainly on the flexibilities which can be incorporated within.
a) in case of the receive shape in the orchestration, where we filter, we need to have a "XPATH" based filter option, wherein we can filter on exact XPATH conditions in the UI.
CBR based Subscription is increasingly being done inside an orchestration, whereas it can be effectively handled at the receieve shape - namely - triggering of an orchestration itself.
b) when we have a straight forward flow, say from a receive port to a send port via filter subscription, there should be a capability of 'return subscription'.
Let me explain further:
when we have a send port subscribed to a receive port - via the receive port's name, in the Filter & Maps tab of the send port, if there is a successful send, there should be a possibility of returning an ACK back to the receive location. This can be a 'K' file with the same name as the original file.
E.g: if 'file123.txt' is polled for, the K file sent back is 'file123k.txt'
c) There should be options to programatically add filters to an orchestration via API calls. This will help as follows:
if we have a 'K' file which is the trigger file and there is this another data file. Now once we receive the K file, we should be able to subscribe for the actual data file, which again differs in its naming only by one letter as shown in the example above.
This way, there can be more flexibility within BizTalk to enable a cleaner handshake and in terms of reconciliation and strict process control.
d) subscription should also be extended to the receive port. In case of two distinct receive locations, linked to two different receive ports, port A, if it is receives a message, should be able to trigger a subscription on port B and if required be able to pass some macros like %SourceFileName% etc.
With regard to point d) - the way i look at it, BizTalk should be able to create subscriptions for all artifacts including receive ports and also pipelines.
It would be really amazing to have a GUI as you have shown in your video and a way to subscribe one component to another via the GUI.
- I understand GUI is an essential part, but going by the way the industry is evolving, BizTalk needs to have a highly flexible and robust PAS model to emerge as the market leader.
Hope this helps in some way. Please provide your inputs to vsatis@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Satish.
