Does BizTalk 2010 Support HIPAA 278 - 005010X216 - xsd

I looked at the BizTalk HIPAA 5010 Version Support page and they have the 278 schema listed, but it is only the 005010X217 version. It also doesn't look like WPC has a schema for 278 005010X216 either. The 005010X216 definition is different enough that using the 278 schema without modifications may not be possible.
Does anyone know if BizTalk 2010 even truly supports 005010X216 and, if so, is there a schema available for it?
If not, does anyone know if there is a 3rd party component that supports 005010X216? I did a search of the usual open source repositories, but came up with nothing.

The link you mentioned for the BizTalk schemas was for some 5010 version changes with BizTalk 2010.
On this link someone from Microsoft responded in the comments that the X216 version was not mandatory and was not being included: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/biztalkb2b/archive/2010/01/29/hipaa-5010-support-now-available-for-bts-2009.aspx.
So I recommend customizing the X217 version because it should have all of the features of X216. You will need to just remove the additions of the X217 version over the X216 version.
Thanks,

SubSonic and SQL Azure

I wrote an e-commerce app and used SubSonic 2.2 to generate the Data-Access-Layer.
It works perfectly with Sql Server 2005 and 2008.
However I would like to add support for SQL Azure.
Does anyone know if the code generated by SubSonic 2.2 with work with SQL Azure?
Side note:
If there are big issues I may scrap the 2 yrs old Data-Access-Layer and use Telerik ORM.
thanks
I'm not that familiar with SQL Azure, but I understand it supports T-SQL. In that case, it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt SubSonic to it.
However, changing the template files will not be enough, you will need to modify the source project and rebuild it. I say this because the SubSonic dll contains references to the various ADO.Net providers it supports (Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, MySql.Data, System.Data.SQLite, System.Data.SqlServerCe).
I would consider / strongly advise using something like EntityFramework which is fully supported. Other fully support ORMs include Lightspeed, nHibernate etc.

WSS 3.0 managing multiple versions of the same document in a parallel development environment

We are using WSS 3.0 at work to manage design documents for our systems. We work in a parallel environment which means we usually have a production copy of a document (e.g Doc A) plus also two or more versions of that document that will be worked on by independent project teams (Doc A (proj 1) & Doc A (proj 2)), we have in the past achieved this by keeping the documents in seperate site collections, however this is very messy and over time has become extremely hard to keep track of the latest versions.
What I am trying to achieve is to store all versions of Doc A in the same document library keeping the name the same but distinguish the different versions of the document using meta-data fields so that users will be able to view the production version of the document while proj 1 and proj 2 can work on their documents seperately. Each individual version of the document must also be searchable using the WSS search.
E.g Name Project Name
Doc A Production
Doc A Proj 1
Doc A Proj 2
I have thought about simply using version control in the library to maintain the different versions of the document and allow the users to simply go to version history to choose which document they want to view or work on. The issue with this approach is that I can not get the seperate version of the document to show up in the search results.
I am stuck with WSS 3.0 for at least another 12 months, so my solution has to be WSS 3.0 based.
Has anyone had experience trying to implement something similar and if so what was the solution that you used? I can't imagine that I am the only one trying to cater for a paraelle development environment.
Short Answer: Renaming Document is the solution (Post-fixing something to make distinct document name).
Long Answer: I got chance to migrate huge document base from oracle portal to MOSS 2007 and I spent time to find out the solution. Finally I ended up post-fixing versions manually/programmatically in the event handler.

MS KB311765 and DsoFramer are missing from MS site

I tried to get DsoFramer and found that its download page and KB article are missing. I've downloaded DsoFramer from cnet.com but I am still curious: why it is removed and if it is deliberate, what should we use instead of it?
It is normally because Microsoft called back the KB article. Either the product that it applies to is out of support, or the code in it encourages using of undocumented behavior, or the code does not follow new security guidelines.
My guess is that it relies on too many undocumented internal behavior of Office thus programs using it may break when Microsoft release a new Office version or a new service pack of existing Office versions.
You can find the sample here - but be warned - there are alot of known problems with the DsoFramer.

What should we use instead of DSOFramer control if it is discontinued by Microsoft?
I had a issue with Excel embedded in the DSOFramer control for which I called up the MSDN Support guys. The first thing he said was that DSOFramer should not be used in application as it have many known problems and Microsoft has discontinued it and removed it from the site.

Sharepoint Code Generation Tool

our team is looking to use a code generation tool for the current sharepoint application we are working on. We want to be able to generate most of the stored procedures and business entities instead of having to write them from scratch. Any recommendation what is the best code generation tool to use with sharepoint projects. I am familiar with CodeSmith, but I wasn't sure if there are any better solutions out there for this.
Code generation is not really necessary for SharePoint, all the code is generated in the SharePoint .NET Libraries.
The formulation of your question implies quite serious misunderstandings about SharePoint and it's use of databases.
If you want to talk to a custom database through a generated Data Access Layer, I would say go for the ADO.NET Entity Framework (works with VS2008 SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1 only though.
A custom solution would be LLBLGen Pro

Sync SharePoint Sets with File System?

Does anyone out there find it useful to sync' SharePoint sets (lists, documents, etc.) with "external" sources like the file system? What about SharePoint-to-SharePoint sync? Do we have any explanation why Microsoft Sync Framework lacks any serious hooks into SharePoint? Is this stuff coming out in some Office 14 timeframe? Under NDA?
Haven't tried it yet, but have you seen?
