Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap (in Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property ExternalMetadataColumnCollection As IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As IDTSInput100
Dim value As IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100

value = instance.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection
IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100 ExternalMetadataColumnCollection { get; }
property IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100^ ExternalMetadataColumnCollection {
    IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100^ get ();
}
abstract ExternalMetadataColumnCollection : IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100
function get ExternalMetadataColumnCollection () : IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection100

Remarks

The ExternalMetadataColumnCollection enables components to validate the columns in its InputColumnCollection when the component is disconnected from its external data source, or when an expensive connected validation is not desirable.

Columns are inserted into the collection using the MapInputColumn method.
