If you have a custom pipeline component, you can source level debug 
using Visual Studio .NET by following those steps:
Arrange for the output of the solution (i.e. your custom DLL) to be 
saved inside <BizTalk root install>\Pipeline Components. This can be 
done by changing the output directory in Visual Studio 
Rebuild the solution and do a deploy in Visual Studio 
Stop and Start the host which runs the pipeline. Until you do this, the 
old version will still run. This is because the .NET framework cannot 
unload an assembly. It has to unload the whole application domain 
Attach a .NET debugger to BTSNTSVC.EXE 
Put your breakpoints
