Recently we had a couple of defects in the development of one of our integration solutions where we hadn't handled date times correctly in relation to day light saving. When we looked for some guidance to help us it seemed that there is a fair bit of discussion around .net implications of this but little recent content about BizTalk. Probably the most useful background articles are the following: http://msdn.microsoft.com/e... http://geekswithblogs.net/d... ......

I got sick of this happening so I've created an MsBuild task which I can use in my build script to inspect the solution file and highlight any issues with the configuration. Basically the task will read through the file ......
