BizTalk Server: List of Custom Functoids

Table of Contents

Introduction

BizTalk Server provides an extensive library of out of the box functoids.  In case you need functionality is not offered through the existing functoids you will need to built your own custom functoid. However there are quite a few available customized functoids available you can reuse and save you the time of building it yourself. This article provides you as developer all the resource available regarding custom functoids for BizTalk Server.
