- Advance Greater Than or Equal To Functoid
- Advance Less Than Functoid

What’s new in this version?
Although BizTalk Server provides many functoids to support a range of diverse operations when working with conditional mapping, we are limited to the number of existing operations or otherwise have to use custom XSLT.
This new library – Logical Functoids – includes a suite of functoids to perform a variety of logical operations, often controlling whether a particular element or attribute is created in an output instance message. Most of the Logical Functoids are a replica of the existent Logical Functoids that came out-of-the-box with BizTalk Server with the advantage that these will allow you to connect with others Custom String Functoids. They are fully compatible with existing functoids and don’t produce any more additional code.
See also the reason I decide to create this library here: Why is so hard to make a simple If-Then-Else Functoid? … well, not anymore!
Advance Logical AND Functoid
Use the Advance Logical AND functoid to return the logical AND of input parameters. It determines whether all of the specified input parameters are true.
Parameters
This functoid requires a minimum of two input parameters and a maximum of one hundred:
- Parameter 1: A value that can be evaluated as either True or False.
- Parameters 2 – 100: Values that can be evaluated as either True or False.
Returns the logical AND of parameters. True if all of the specified input parameters evaluate to True; False otherwise.
Advance Equal Functoid
Use the Advance Equal functoid to return the value “true” if the first input parameter is equal to the second input parameter. It tests whether the two input parameters are equal.
Parameters
This functoid requires two input parameters:
- Parameter 1: A value to be tested for equality with parameter 2.
- Parameter 2: A value to be tested for equality with parameter 1.
Returns “True” if the values of the two input parameters are equal; “False” otherwise.
Advance Greater Than Functoid
Use the Advance Greater Than functoid to return the value “true” if the first input parameter is greater than the second input parameter. It tests whether the first input parameter is greater than the second input parameter.
Parameters
This functoid requires two input parameters:
- Parameter 1: A value to be tested to determine whether it is greater than parameter 2.
- Parameter 2: A value to be tested to determine whether it is greater than parameter 1.
Returns “True” if the value of the first input parameter is greater than the value of the second input parameter; “False” otherwise.
Advance Greater Than or Equal To Functoid
Use the Advance Greater Than or Equal To functoid to return the value “true” if the first input parameter is greater than or equal to the second input parameter. It tests whether the first input parameter is greater than or equal to the second input parameter.
Parameters
This functoid requires two input parameters:
- Parameter 1: A value to be tested to determine whether it is greater than or equal to parameter 2.
- Parameter 2: A value to be tested to determine whether it is greater than or equal to parameter 1.
Returns “True” if the value of the first input parameter is greater than or equal to the value of the second input parameter; “False” otherwise.
Advance Less Than Functoid
Use the Advance Less Than functoid to return the value “true” if the first input parameter is less than the second input parameter. It tests whether the first input parameter is less than the second input parameter.
Parameters
This functoid requires two input parameters:
- Parameter 1: A value to be tested to determine whether it is less than parameter 2.
- Parameter 2: A value to be tested to determine whether it is less than parameter 1.
Returns “True” if the value of the first input parameter is less than the value of the second input parameter; “False” otherwise.
Advance Less Than or Equal To Functoid
Use the Advance Less Than or Equal To functoid to return the value “true” if the first input parameter is less than or equal to the second input parameter. It tests whether the first input parameter is less than or equal to the second input parameter.
Parameters
This functoid requires two input parameters:
- Parameter 1: A value to be tested to determine whether it is less than or equal to parameter 2.
- Parameter 2: A value to be tested to determine whether it is less than or equal to parameter 1.
Returns “True” if the value of the first input parameter is less than or equal to the value of the second input parameter; “False” otherwise.
Advance Not Equal Functoid
Use the Advance Not Equal functoid to return the value “true” if the first input parameter is not equal to the second input parameter. It tests whether the two input parameters are not equal.
Parameters
This functoid requires two input parameters:
- Parameter 1: A value to be tested for inequality with parameter 2.
- Parameter 2: A value to be tested for inequality with parameter 1.
Returns “True” if the values of the two input parameters are not equal; “False” otherwise.
Advance Logical NOT Functoid
Use the Advance Logical NOT functoid to return the logical inversion of the input parameter. Use to logically negate the value of the Boolean input parameter.
Parameters
This functoid requires one input parameter only:
- Parameter 1: A value that can be evaluated as either True or False.
Returns “True” if the specified input parameter evaluates to False; “False” otherwise.
Advance Logical OR Functoid
Use the Advance Logical OR functoid to return the logical OR of input parameters. The input parameters have to be Boolean or numeric. It determines whether any of the specified input parameters are true.
Parameters
This functoid requires a minimum of two input parameters and a maximum of one hundred:
- Parameter 1: A value that can be evaluated as either True or False.
- Parameters 2 – 100: Values that can be evaluated as either True or False.
Returns “True” if any of the specified input parameters evaluate to True; “False” otherwise.
If-Then-Else Functoid
Use the If-Then-Else Functoid to return a value from one of two input parameters based on a condition. If the condition (first input) is True, then the value of the second input parameter is returned, otherwise, the Third input is returned.
Parameters
This functoid requires three input parameters:
- A boolean representing the result of a previous condition
- The value to be returned if the condition is True.
- The value to be returned if the condition is False.
If the condition is True, then the value of the second input parameter is returned, otherwise, the Third input is returned.
