Thanksmbrennan0http://channel9.msdn.com/349929/Trackback.aspxI actually wrote our own EDI system in 2 months, plus an integration going on at the same time with a trading partner.&nbsp; It's only been used for the transportation industry&nbsp;so far, but it's&nbsp;processed at least a couple hundred thousand messages.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 2 month system was a rewrite of the first time I wrote the EDI system.&nbsp; The first EDI system I wrote when I was brand new to EDI had an XML system that would map the EDI to a table, and do an insert or update on a table.&nbsp; It started getting to complex to support every scenario in XML, so I rewrote and the second version is&nbsp;a lot better.<BR><BR>Of course it can't compare with a system like BizTalk, but it's not bad for a pure EDI system.&nbsp; So there isn't a tight coupling it will use reflection, and load an assembly dynamically and call it to actually do the processing on EDI message.&nbsp; However, there are objects that the external dll's use to read/create the EDI file itself, for example, to read or create an EDI "compatible" date\time value.&nbsp; It doesn't have&nbsp;a full GUI, and everything else, like deep validation of every type of transaction set and every segment/offset when creating the 997 response.&nbsp; The last I checked into BizTalk, the deal killer was having to purchase a license for each individual company or server.<BR><BR>It looks very interesting and complete though.http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Rory/Tony-Bernard-on-BizTalk/?CommentID=349629Tue, 28 Aug 2007 23:59:46 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Rory/Tony-Bernard-on-BizTalk/?CommentID=3496290http://channel9.msdn.com/349629/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0I actually wrote our own EDI system in 2 months, plus an integration going on at the same time with a trading partner.&nbsp; It's only been used for the transportation industry&nbsp;so far, but it's&nbsp;processed at least a couple hundred thousand messages.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 2 month system was a&#8230;MetaGunny0http://channel9.msdn.com/349629/Trackback.aspxYay does this mean Rory is back.
