Examples

The Package class implements the DtsContainer through its inheritance of the EventsProvider. The following code example creates a package, then displays and sets values inherited from DtsContainer.

using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Text;  
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;  

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Samples  
{  
    class Program  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            // The package is the ExecuteProcess package sample   
            // that is installed with the SSIS samples.  
            string pkg = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\ExecuteProcess Sample\ExecuteProcess\UsingExecuteProcess.dtsx";  

            Application app = new Application();  
            Package p1 = app.LoadPackage(pkg, null);  

            // Show the properties inherited from DtsContainer.  
            Console.WriteLine("CreationName:    {0}", p1.CreationName);  
            Console.WriteLine("DebugMode:       {0}", p1.DebugMode);  
            Console.WriteLine("DelayValidation: {0}", p1.DelayValidation);  
            Console.WriteLine("Description:     {0}", p1.Description);  
            Console.WriteLine("Disable:         {0}", p1.Disable);  

            // Description is not set for this sample, so set it.  
            p1.Description = "This is the Execute Process Package Sample";  
            Console.WriteLine("Description after modification: {0}", p1.Description);  

            Console.WriteLine();  
        }  
    }  
}

            Dim app As Application =  New Application()   
            Dim p1 As Package =  app.LoadPackage(pkg,Nothing)   

            ' Show the properties inherited from DtsContainer.  
            Console.WriteLine("CreationName:    {0}", p1.CreationName)  
            Console.WriteLine("DebugMode:       {0}", p1.DebugMode)  
            Console.WriteLine("DelayValidation: {0}", p1.DelayValidation)  
            Console.WriteLine("Description:     {0}", p1.Description)  
            Console.WriteLine("Disable:         {0}", p1.Disable)  

            ' Description is not set for this sample, so set it.  
            p1.Description = "This is the Execute Process Package Sample"  
            Console.WriteLine("Description after modification: {0}", p1.Description)  

            Console.WriteLine()  
        End Sub  
    End Class  
End Namespace  

Sample Output:

CreationName: MSDTS.Package.1

DebugMode: False

DelayValidation: True

Description:

Disable: False

Description after modification: This is the Execute Process Package Sample
