What is the main Difference with BizTalk 2006 and Framework 3.0.

[Guest]

Hello,

My understanding is BizTalk 2006 is the rolls royce of Workflow where
Framework 3.0 has some of the components.

Is this true?

Is there some documentation that shows the differences?

Thanks

Hello BuddyWork,

First of all BizTalk is a host process where all your processes lives with
number of predefined services, and whe working processes are described with
BT's workflow.

WF from the .NET 3.0 is just workflow and nothing else.
You need to create the services, and hosting by your own

So I can use all the BizTalk Workflow components in Framework 3.0.

Hello BuddyWork,

afaik not.
Biztalk WF is not the WF from .net 3.0, albeit it was developed by the same
group of people.

They decralred that BT will support WF .NET 3.0 soon

According to my understanding of Framework 3.0 Workflow, you can build
business workflow processes where you must build the hosting process whereas
BizTalk handles this for you automatically so if you don't want to write the
hosting process then you would use BizTalk.

I'm thinking correctly here?

Hello BuddyWork,

yep. if your are developing 1-2 services with are under your control your
are using the .NET 3.0 WF to maintain the services logic.

if your are developing the huge enterprise application related to the integration
of the several systems BT helps you significantly.
It provides you set of common services to mitigate this task. For example,
using some mouse clicks your can parse input email attach, extract desired
info and publish on SharePoint.

BT is a big monster and the using of it should be reasonable.
