I am working on Biztalk 2006 R2 and facing a big problem. I have created an orchestration and for temporary purpose I want to comment some shapes that I have used in this orchestration like we are commenting the code in .net. But I have not found any facility in Biztalk to do it. I think microsoft has to add this functionality in this technology. Let me know your reviews, if you want to add.
At this time to resolve this issue, I am using the decide shape and keeping all unwanted shapes in this decide shape which cannot execute. I have added such type of condition which will never true (i.e. 1==0). So at this time I can run my orchestration and can use those commented shapes(insude the above decide shape) in future if I want. Is it ok?
Let me know if you have any new idea.
Vijay,
There are some facilities to do this with BizTalk
1) Inside of an expression or decide shape you can enter comments in as you would with C# or any other .Net language i.e.
// Insert comment here
2) For the shapes in your orchestration, you can click on the shape and then look at the shape’s properties. There, you will find a property called “Description”. Click on the elipse [...] button and you can enter in your comments there.
IMHO, I would stay away from adding shapes that will never be used. At some point, someone else may maintain your code and this will just confuse them
Regards,
Kent

Hi kent,
Thank you for your comment. But my question is how to commnet shapes(Construct Shape, Transform Shape, expression shape), that for testing purpose I don’t want to execute them. Instead of removing them from orchestration I want to comment those shape. So how can I comment those shapes. I know we can comment like in .net we are doing by using “//” in expression shape. But my query is to hide (by using comment like facility exist in .Net) the shape at runtime.:(
Thank you,
Vijay Modi

Did you get an answer to your question? I tried opening up the .cs file associated with the orchestration and comment the shape from there but it does not seem to reflect in the orchestration.
I will test it out and let you know. In the mean time, if you have found the answer, please do let me know the solution
