BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack: Math Functoids for BizTalk Server 2020

Today, we will address the last suite of functoids that are part of the BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack project available for BizTalk Server 2020: Math Functoids. And with this blog post, we finally arrive to the end of this project migration.

Math Functoids

This library includes a suite of functoids to perform a variety of basic mathematical operations that you can use inside the BizTalk mapper.

This project includes the following Custom Functoids:

• Negate Number Functoid: Use Negate Functoid to return the input double as its negated form.
  • This functoid requires one input parameter:
    • A number (double or int) to be negated.
  • The output result will be the input value in its negative form. If it’s positive, it will return as negative and vice versa.
  • Examples:
    • Input 1 >>> Output = -1
    • Input -23,09 >>> Output = 23,09
    • Input 0 >>> Output = 0

• SmartRound Functoid: Use SmartRound to return the rounded double, based on the second parameter input.
  • The functoid takes two mandatory input parameters:
    • Parameter 1: Number to be rounded (double or int).
    • Parameter 2: Number to decimal places.
  • The output of the functoid will be the input number rounded up or down to the specified decimal places.
  • Examples:
    • Input 23 rounded to 2 >>> Output = 23,00
    • Input 24,005900 rounded to 3 >>> Output = 24,006

BizTalk Mapper Extensions Utility Pack

BizTalk Mapper Extensions Utility Pack is a set of libraries that includes several useful functoids to include in a map, extending BizTalk Mapper’s capabilities.
