Following my previous post, here’s another small contribution: Item Template for Visual Studio 2010: Custom BizTalk Functoid.
The New Functoid Class item template for Visual Studio 2010 allows you to create new Functoids for BizTalk Server 2010 without having to code the entire class, and therefore allows you to focus on what really matters, the functoid behavior. Just start a new Visual Studio C# library project and add a functoid class to start building your BizTalk Server 2010 custom Functoid.
📝 One-Minute Brief
This post introduces a productivity-boosting “Custom Functoid Class” item template for Visual Studio 2010. Designed for BizTalk Server 2010 developers, it automates the boilerplate coding required to create custom functoids, allowing you to focus solely on the functoid’s logic. The post includes installation steps (moving the compressed file to the Visual Studio templates directory) and credits the community contributors who helped build and design the template.
How can I install the Item Template?
To use this item template in your C# library projects, just download the project (Don´t unzip) and copy the compressed file to C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ItemTemplates\VisualC#.
Now, when you add a new item to your project, you will see a new option: Custom FunctoId Class.
I really like to engage other people in these small projects. This time, I was lucky to get the participation of two of my coworkers: Rui Machado, who addressed the creation of a template, and Sónia Gomes, who created the beautiful icon that is associated with the template.

It’s hard to find useful Biztalk-related templates for VisualStudio especially one as useful as this item template from Sandro Pereira for creating Custom Functoid Classes. Thanks Sandro.
