Problem
On a computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009, you use Microsoft Visual Studio to develop a BizTalk application. In your BizTalk project, you add a reference to another BizTalk project. In this scenario, you may see the following behavior:
- The orchestrations in the referenced BizTalk project may show compiler warnings.
- The changes that are made to the referenced BizTalk project are not propagated onto the referenced project.
- When you edit the orchestrations of the referenced project, XLANG errors are thrown. These errors may disappear after the orchestrations are saved and recompiled.
- After you deploy the referencing project, the local copies of the referenced project’s binaries are deleted.
- After you deploy the referencing project, various errors or warnings occur in Orchestration Designer.
Cause
- This problem occurs because the project reference is lost intermittently when you develop a BizTalk project in Visual Studio 2008.
