BizTalk RFID Data Services is available on codeplex

Hello

My colleague,Suresh Girirajan, published this week the BTS data services project on codeplex.

This should be huge news if you are developing RFID solutions with BizTalk RFID or already have a deployed solution and need a lightweight monitoring system.

The project allows reading and setting properties for RFID processes, devices, device groups and RFID providers. it also allows stopping/starting RFID processes and devices.

The interface is 100% REST (written in C#) and allows both GET and PUT operations on the RFID artifacts.

Make sure to check out the code and the documentation on codeplex.

Good Luck

Attaching debugger to RFID process

Hello

During development of RFID processes, we often need to debug the process in Visual studio.

one way to do this is “Debug–> Attach to Process…” option.

The issue with RFID processes is that it is not always clear which process to pick from the list.

One possible workaround is to use ”System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();” inside the code. (for example inside the “ProcessTagReadEvent”).

There is no need to attach to any process. once the code is executed, you will get the “Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger” window (see below) where you can choose your code and it will open in debug mode.

Good Luck
