Over the last few years, I have developed and made available several BizTalk projects, including tools, components (functoids, adapters, …), and samples, on platforms such as CodePlex, Microsoft MSDN Code Sample, and Microsoft TechNet Gallery. And because CodePlex shut down last year, many people asked me whether I would make the existing CodePlex projects available on GitHub.
📝 One-Minute Brief
An overview of the BizTalk Server Community Extensions Utility Packs GitHub repository, which centralizes community‑driven tools and extensions to enhance BizTalk development, mapping, pipelines, and configuration management.
Well, I’m happy to announce the BizTalk Server Community Extensions Utility Packs GitHub Repository where I will make it available all my BizTalk Server related community projects or samples.
Initially, my intention was to start to contribute to the Microsoft Integration Repository on GitHub and put everything there, but I found out they have several restrictions, and that will not be practical or possible… so, I decided to create a repository where everyone can easily contribute and be a central community place for any kind of BizTalk Server Resources:
- Sample Projects
- Custom Adapters
- Custom Pipeline Components
- Custom Pipelines
- Schemas
- Custom Functoids
- Tools
- SQL and/or PowerShell Scripts
- PowerPoints
- and so on
The main goal is for this repository to be a central public repository for Microsoft BizTalk Server open-source community resources.
For now, it is available:
- BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack for BizTalk Server 2010, 2013, 2013 R2, and 2016.
- BizTalk Mapper Extensions Functoid Wizard for BizTalk Server 2010.
- Microsoft Message Queuing Testing Tool.
Soon, I will be adding more projects and samples and creating documentation on the available projects and credits to the authors.
JOIN ME IN THIS INITIATIVE! And add your projects to this common repository.

Hi Sandro,
This is a great idea, hopefully the BizTalk community can pull behind this one and we can have a really useful single location to look for the best open source offerings that help all of us 🙂
