BizTalk / SharePoint integration

Image
BizTalk includes SharePoint adapter which can be used for sending and receiving data from/to SharePointYou could see that that sending adapter even is limited with 16 fields. But what to do if you want to send more then 16 fields, attach a file to Item, do manipulations with a List/Library etc.
I would like to recommend to use native web services from SharePoint which can be found at http://localhost/_vti_bin/lists.asmx
Use UpdateList to insert and update List Items you can use GetListItems method to serach for Items in a List
for more methods and description check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists(v=office.12).aspx
for other SharePoint Services check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878586(v=office.12).aspx
