Adds the specified Executable as a precedence constraint to the PrecedenceConstraints collection.

public:
 Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::PrecedenceConstraint ^ Add(Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Executable ^ execFrom, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Executable ^ execTo);

public Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.PrecedenceConstraint Add (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executable execFrom, Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executable execTo);

member this.Add : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executable * Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executable -> Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.PrecedenceConstraint

Public Function Add (execFrom As Executable, execTo As Executable) As PrecedenceConstraint

Parameters

execFrom: Executable

The executable that is before the precedence constraint.

execTo: Executable

The executable that is after the precedence constraint.

Returns

PrecedenceConstraint

The PrecedenceConstraint object.

Examples

The following code example creates three tasks, and places precedence constraints between them. Using the PrecedenceConstraints collection, it iterates over the constraints in the package, printing information about each constraint.
