Example for BizTalk 2013 to use the SB-Messaging and WCF-NetTcpRelay adapter

The BizTalk 2013 provides some new adapters for service bus to be able to use relay service and send/receive message to service bus queue and topics.

Recently Paolo Salvatori has upload an example demonstrate all of those features in here

I have set it up and tried it with one issue when calling netTcpRelay service in the demo client.

The demo client is using an app.config to call the netTcpRelayService. However, I have the error said, "The element 'bindings' has invalid child element 'netTcpRelayBinding'.

This because an extensions section needs to be added for the client to be able to recognize those element.

The client finally worked after the following config added.

<extensions>
    <behaviorExtensions>

<add name="transportClientEndpointBehavior" type="Microsoft.ServiceBus.Configuration.TransportClientEndpointBehaviorElement, Microsoft.ServiceBus, Version=1.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

</behaviorExtensions>

<bindingExtensions>

<add name="netTcpRelayBinding" type="Microsoft.ServiceBus.Configuration.NetTcpRelayBindingCollectionElement, Microsoft.ServiceBus, Version=1.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

</bindingExtensions>

</extensions>

This article here has a complete list for all the extensions that can be added. Just be aware that it is using 1.7.0.0, whereas the latest is 1.8.0.0 now.
