FileSystemTask.OverwriteDestinationFile Property

public:
 property bool OverwriteDestinationFile { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool OverwriteDestinationFile { get; set; }

member this.OverwriteDestinationFile : bool with get, set

Public Property OverwriteDestinationFile As Boolean

Property Value

true if the task will overwrite destination files; false otherwise.

Implements

Examples

The following code example creates a FileSystemTask as an Executable in a package. The FileSystemTask copies a test folder, which contains two subfolders and a .txt file, to another folder. The sample does not overwrite any files at the destination, so OverwriteDestinationFile is set to false.
