I was playing around with the Indigo Adapter for BizTalk 2006 from GotDotNet.

It took a bit of effort to get it to run, but finally got it working (seemed to be an issue with Namespaces)

It's a very cool demo of the capabilities of Indigo (WCF) combined with simple BizTalk routing. 

In order to run it you'll need the September CTP of WCF and the above adapter.

A request comes into an Indigo receive port and then BizTalk routes into to three Indigo send ports that route the message to 3 different Indigo service implementations.  One uses http, one uses tcp and one uses message queue.

It shows nicely how Indigo can absract these transports away from BizTalk (or any client) so that they can be easily switched from http to message queue etc simply by modifying a config file.

Mick Badran has posted the code with updated namespaces here.

Here's a couple of screen images:

Note that there have been quite a few changes between Indigo Beta 1 and the new CTP.  Here's a list.
