Mapping between send port and host instance

Question

I am not able to retrieve send port names according to host instance names using C#.NET (WMI) from BizTalkMgmtDb. I had tried using BTSCatalog-Send Port class and MSBTS_SendPort but couldn't get the desired output. Can anyone help me out with the mapping between
send port and host instance?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pratibha,
BtsCatalogExplorer's SendPort collection doesn't provide access to its corresponding SendHandler/host-Instance name. Only option is to relay on executing the SQL query against the BizTalkMgmtDb. So you can create a C# execute the query as show by la Cour.
Following uses the BtsCatalogExplorer. but as said, there is no option to retrieve its corresponding SendHandler/host-Instance.
private string GetSendPorts()
// connect to the local BizTalk Management database
Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer catalog = new Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer();
catalog.ConnectionString = "Server=VMBTS2013R2DEV;Initial Catalog=BizTalkMgmtDb;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
string sSendPortName = String.Empty;
try
// display all sendports and status
foreach (Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.SendPort sendport in catalog.SendPorts)
sSendPortName += sendport.Name + ", ";
MessageBox.Show(sSendPortName);
catch (Exception e)
catalog.DiscardChanges();
throw e;
return sSendPortName;
Send-Port class doesn't have member to retrieve the send handler, but provides one to Set the send handler:
