I have a question,

I am busy doing some guidance for a BizTalk solution.

What i want is pretty simple....

Add a file from a template and NOT open it !

then do some search and replace in it,

and then open the file.

The problem is I cannot see how to do this. And the problem is as soon as VS opens a file of type .btm (bizTalk map) it will start complaining about the invalidity of the map.

I could work around this problem if i could execute a Template without opening it.

Anybodye had any clou for me ?

Hi!

Can you post which method are you using to unfold the template?Is during the solution unfolding or it's later?

thanks.

jose.

it's later, i am already in the solution. That was created ages ago. I have added an item and kicked off a recipe.

I want the recipe to execute, and add the file from the template as a simple copy action. Not open it.

It will only be valid after i modified it. And i have a custom Action that does it all. But i cannot seem to get rid of the editor opening the file.......

I looked on the Internet and found something like OpenInEditor... It sounds like what i want but every attempt to use it results in a com error...

If you know a way how you would be very helpfull.....

Thanks in advance....

This is the template :
