FIX: Error message when you validate a BizTalk map in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 or in BizTalk Server 2009 if the map and its schemas are in a separate project

Consider the following scenario:

• �You open a BizTalk project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on a computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 or in BizTalk Server 2009.
• The BizTalk project contains a BizTalk map. The source schema and the destination schema of the map are referenced from a separate project in the same solution.
• You try to validate the map or try to build the BizTalk project.

In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:Notes

• If you put the schemas in the same project as the BizTalk map, this issue does not occur.
• The issue occurs when you define various simple and complex types in the schema. Additionally, you also import or include other schemas in the schema.

This problem occurs because BizTalk Mapper does not populate schema types correctly if you have various simple and complex types are defined that are imported or included from the other schemas in the current schema.
