BizTalk 2010 changes

BizTalk Explorer
The BizTalk Explorer view in Visual Studio is removed in BizTalk Server 2010. You should use the BizTalk Server Administration Console instead.

SQL Adapter
BizTalk Server no longer supports the SQL Adapter. Consider using the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack to achieve the same functionality.

Add Web Reference
The option to use Add Web Reference to consume a Web service within a BizTalk project is removed. In BizTalk Server 2010, you should use the Consume WCF Service Wizard to consume a Web service from a BizTalk project.

EDI Pipeline
Some EDI pipeline properties are fully supported with no feature enhancements in BizTalk Server 2010 but are planned for removal in future versions. The properties are now available as part of the Trading Partner Management user interface in the BizTalk Server Administration console.

EDI Context Properties
The following EDI context properties are deprecated in BizTalk Server 2010.
DestinationPartyID

SOAP Adapter
The SOAP adapter is deprecated in BizTalk Server 2010. You should use the WCF-BasicHttp to communicate with Web services and clients that conform to the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1. To communicate with Web services and clients that conform to WS-*, use the WCF-WSHttp adapter.

BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard
The BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard, a graphical user interface for communicating with or exposing BizTalk process as Web service, is deprecated. In BizTalk Server 2010, you should instead use the BizTalk WCF Publishing Wizard with the WCF-BasicHttp and WCF-WSHttp adapters to provide Web Services communications.
