Problem: My orchestration looks perfectly fine with no error symbols anywhere but whenever I try to build the solution I get:

Error 1 Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1. C:…MyProjectMyOrchestration.odx 1 1 

Cause: I was moving the orchestration file from one BizTalk project to another through holding shift and doing drag’n’drop in the solution explorer.

The btproj file has this new content:

1
2
3
4
5
6

<ItemGroup>
    <Schema Include="MyOrchestration.odx">
        <TypeName>MyOrchestration</TypeName>
        <Namespace>MyNamespace</Namespace>
    </Schema>
</ItemGroup>

Solution: The move operation within Visual Studio is broken. You either have to do it in a different way (maybe add existing item?) or you adjust the project file after moving the orchestration:

1
2
3
4
5
6

<ItemGroup>
    <XLang Include="MyOrchestration.odx">
        <TypeName>MyOrchestration</TypeName>
        <Namespace>MyNamespace</Namespace>
    </XLang>
</ItemGroup>

The error should be gone.
