Continuing the migration of the BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack project, this time we will focus on the available Dynamic Generators Functoids for BizTalk Server 2020.
📝 One-Minute Brief
Introduces the Dynamic Generators Functoids in the BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack for BizTalk Server 2020, providing functoids that generate runtime values such as passwords, GUIDs, and tiny IDs directly inside BizTalk maps.
Dynamic Generators Functoids
This library includes a suite of functoids that generate dynamic data; you can use this inside the BizTalk mapper. Dynamic Generators functoids are used to generate a specific type of data at runtime, for example, generate a new Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).
This project includes the following Custom Functoids:
- Password Generator Functoid: Use this functoid to build a random password.
- The functoid takes five mandatory input parameters:
- A Boolean that describes if you want to use Lower Case chars
- “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, “f”, “g”, “h”, “i”, “j”, “k”, “l”, “m”, “n”, “o”, “p”, “q”, “r”, “s”, “t”, “u”, “v”, “w”, “x”,
“y”, “z”
- “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, “f”, “g”, “h”, “i”, “j”, “k”, “l”, “m”, “n”, “o”, “p”, “q”, “r”, “s”, “t”, “u”, “v”, “w”, “x”,
- A Boolean that describes if you want to use Upper Case chars
- “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “G”, “H”, “I”, “J”, “K”, “L”, “M”, “N”, “O”, “P”, “Q”, “R”, “S”, “T”, “U”, “V”,
“W”, “X”, “Y”, “Z”
- “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “G”, “H”, “I”, “J”, “K”, “L”, “M”, “N”, “O”, “P”, “Q”, “R”, “S”, “T”, “U”, “V”,
- A Boolean that describes if you want to use Numbers
- “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “0”
- A Boolean that describes if you want to use Symbols
- “!”, “@”, “#”, “$”, “%”, “&”, “*”, “?”
- An integer that represents the length of the password
- A Boolean that describes if you want to use Lower Case chars
- The output of the functoid is a string, for example, 6FcUw7RBFi
- The functoid takes five mandatory input parameters:
- GUID Generator Functoid: This functoid allows you to generate a new GUID.
- The functoid takes no parameters
- The output of the functoid is a string, for example, 8fe5cee8-279b-4f1b-96f2-450cff2c846c
- Tiny Id Generator Functoid: This functoid allows you to generate a new Tiny Id.
- The functoid takes no parameters
- The output of the functoid is a string, for example, _2ZgiIhjCECNxi9QwU96FA
BizTalk Mapper Extensions Utility Pack
BizTalk Mapper Extensions Utility Pack is a set of libraries with several useful functoids to include in a map, extending BizTalk Mapper capabilities.

Hi Sandro,
Hope you are doing good.
Somewhere i read that BTDF is yet to be released for Visual studio 2019. Could you please provide some updates on this if you have any.
Thanks in advance!
