During our BizTalk development we come across some really strange error message, which normally doesn't reflect the real cause. I always wanted to consolidate everything in one place. After seeing couple of errors that's being raised in the news groups, I thought this is the right time to materialize it. If you have come across any strange errors and willing to share please let me know via my contact page.
========================================================
Exception: 'System.Xml.XmlDocument' does not contain a definition for 'Status'
========================================================
Cause:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(PO_SOURCE.Status.ToString());
Resolution:
status = PO_SOURCE.Status;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(status.ToString());
where "status" is a variable of type System.String.

Remark: When you try to do the conversion directly on the context property, the above exception is raised. You can easily fix it by first assigning the context property to a local variable and then doing the conversion.

The error information doesn't reflect on the actual cause. Make sure, "SQL Server Analysis Services" is started.
