10/14/2004: Introducing Skedview: how to visualize BizTalk orchestrations without Visual Studio installed!

BINARIES AND SOURCE DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE HERE!

This is a very lightweight .net 1.1 winform application that graphically displays a BizTalk Server 2004 orchestration from an assembly in a given path or in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) just like in Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) or Visual Studio.Net, but *without* Visual Studio installed. It is especially useful in production server environment for example to quickly check currently deployed orchestrations. It needs BizTalk server 2004 (but not Visual Studio) to be installed of course.



It uses undocumented BizTalk winform controls, so it may not work in the future. Use at your own risks!

PS: Oh, by the way, make sure you stop by the cool "BizTalk 2004 Administration Management Tool" written by Paul Somers available here :
