I am really glad that you are finding my posts useful. If you have any more ambiguity that is causing you grief I would be happy to help, just let me know what you are looking at.

I hadn’t looked at BizTalk. From my brief evaluation of it years ago, it is more than just a framework, but an Enterprise level application.

Have you used BizTalk as something that you can embed into an app? My understanding was that BizTalk was its own EAI, but that is an impression from years ago and I may have miss-remembered.

I’m implementing an EDI solution in REALbasic, for a cross-platform client. Your EDI blog posts have been extremely helpful in clarifying some of the points where the vendor specs are ambiguous.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. It is kind of surprising that I haven’t found anything on this. Makes me wonder if Dot Net is just too cool for EDI, or if it is so easy to write your own EDI handler that no one has bothered making a framework for it?

Not a Dot Net developer myself, so I don’t know.

we integrate with EDI feeds for large suppliers and we were unsuccesful in finding a suitable DOT NET framework.

We elected to ‘roll our own’ which has proven to be the best method in the long run.
