AmitaBarge1gmailcomThe Visual Studio 2019 extension is not yet available, and I do not have a release date to share. v5.8 of the Framework itself is available in stable beta form for BizTalk 2020.

 

You can follow the VS extension https://github.com/BTDF/ToolsForVisualStudio.

 

Thanks,

Thomas Abraham

    tfabraham - I have installed the BTDF V5.8 to be used for BizTalk 2020 upgrade/migration project. 

    Although the build path had to be changed to the VS2019 current\bin folder inorder to build, I am facing an issue with the deployment with the error as below.

    BizTalkDeploymentFramework.targets(1769,3): error MSB4067: The element <ItemDefinitionGroup> beneath element <Project> is unrecognized. 

    Upon further checking the files, it has below code; which wasnt in the v5.7. What is the use of this below code and how to resolve the error MSB4067? 

    <ItemDefinitionGroup>
    <IISAppPool>
    <DotNetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</DotNetFrameworkVersion>
    <PipelineMode>Integrated</PipelineMode>
    <Enable32Bit>False</Enable32Bit>
    <IdentityType>ApplicationPoolIdentity</IdentityType>
    <DeployAction>$(IISAppPoolDefaultDeployAction)</DeployAction>
    <UndeployAction>$(IISAppPoolDefaultUndeployAction)</UndeployAction>
    </IISAppPool>
    </ItemDefinitionGroup>

    <ItemDefinitionGroup>
    <IISApp>
    <SiteName>Default Web Site</SiteName>
    <DeployAction>CreateOrUpdate</DeployAction>
    <UndeployAction>Delete</UndeployAction>
    </IISApp>
    </ItemDefinitionGroup>

      glav27 - resolved the above issue by using the packaged framework assemblies included in "MyBTProject\1.0\Deployment\Framework" with the 5.7 versions (e.g.: BizTalkDeploymentFramework.Tasks.dll). Something when packaging from VS2019 has those assemblies on a different build version, reverting them resolved the problem for us. Would be great to have these work by default for BT2020 and VS2019 🙂

        glav27 - Resolved the problem by modifying C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\DeploymentFrameworkForBizTalk\5.0\BizTalkDeploymentFramework.targets

        from
        <Target Name="SetToolsVersionParam">
        <CreateProperty Value="/tv:12.0" Condition="'$(MSBuildToolsVersion)' == '12.0'">
        <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="ToolsVersionParam" />
        </CreateProperty>
        </Target>

        to
        <Target Name="SetToolsVersionParam">
        <CreateProperty Value="/tv:4.0" Condition="'$(MSBuildToolsVersion)' == '4.0'">
        <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="ToolsVersionParam" />
        </CreateProperty>
        </Target>

        then the generated MSI works as expected :+1:
