MTOM/XOP support in BizTalk 2006 R2? - wcf

We are currently working on an BizTalk solution that should return binary data as a XOP attachement through an webservice request. BizTalk have MTOM support through WCF adapters, but I can't figure out if BizTalk also supports XOP?
(I found an blog post on BizTalk attachment patterns, but that not give me the preferred solution)
We are using BizTalk 2006 R2, Visual Studio 2005

Migrating from BizTalk 2010 to BizTalk 2020

We are currently running a simplistic installation of BizTalk 2010 for some EDI mapping. I'd like to migrate these applications to BizTalk 2020. I'm not concerned about keeping the history of previous transactions.
Is it as simple as setting up a new BizTalk 2020 installation and importing the applications\Parties to 2020, or do they need to make a hop through another version (ie 2016)?
If you mean just to export the MSI and parties and then re-import them into BizTalk 2020, then the answer is probably no.
If you mean to open each solution in Visual Studio 2019 and upgrade them, recompile and deploy, and then test for issues, then yes, that is achievable.
Note: Going from BizTalk 2010 to a higher version there is a known issue with maps where the later versions use XslCompiledTransform class instead of XslTransform. See Known issues in BizTalk Server 2013. I also wrote a blog about it BizTalk 2013 R2 CU2 & BizTalk 2016 – Use XSL Transform and why you should fix the maps, rather than try and default it back to XslTransform.
EDI might have problems, because sometime parties cannot be directly migrated. In which case you will need to use the BizTalk Server Party Migration Tool which usually is included.
Also the SQL adapter has been removed in BizTalk 2020 (see Deprecated & Removed List), so if you have any ports using that you will need to replace it with WCF-SQL

WCF service library in Visual Basic 2010 express

I'm using visual basic 2010 express as my IDE, i need to use WCF to create a client-server system, but i can't find the WCF service library, it's not shown as template and i can't find a place to download it, i've seen a few videos of people with visual studio (not visual basic) using WCF, is that the problem?
it seems like WCF is not available to VB 2010, I'll have to swap to VS

AS2 support on BizTalk Server 2010

I am running into a scenario, where our client sends the data as EDIFACT file via AS2 protocol and we have hosted our web application in windows server 2003 R2 Standard edition.
Now we want to read the incoming EDIFACT file from our Client via Biztalk server
I googled and found Biztalk 2010 supports AS2 protocol, but we are forced to install biztalk 2006 R2 as we are running Windows server 2003
So could anybody tell me whether Biztalk server 2006 (R2) supports AS2 protocol? If no, then is there any alternative like patches or service pack?
Thanks in advance

Yes, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 supports AS2 out of the box.
There are some Tutorials you can use to understand how BizTalk Server supports AS2. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259975(v=bts.20).aspx
Of course, I must recommend you use a more current version, BizTalk Server 2010 at least. BizTalk Server 2006 R2 is at or nearing the end of it's support lifecycle.

How to easily publish web site from VS2008 on Windows 2008 R2 IIS?

I'm working on a WCF project with Visual Studio 2008 that needs to be regulary published on an external Windows 2008 R2 server. The project publishing is done for testing purposes, and needs to be done as easily as possible as it will happen often to refactor and republish it. What's the best, easiest and fastest way to publish it on the remote IIS?
i use CruiseControl.NET for this purpose

Can I use WCF on Visual Studio 2005?

I am about to start a project which consumes third party web services. Because of a legacy system, I am told that I can only use Visual Studio 2005/.NET 2.0. (Though I would have preferred Visual Studio 2008 on .NET 3.5)
My understanding is that WCF was released with .NET 3.0. So is there any possibility to use WCF on Visual Studio 2005 by using just the WCF assemblies of .NET 3.0? I will then try to convince them that it is just like using external framework which doesn't disturb anything.
You can read here the steps how to setup WCF in VS 2005
