public void SetExpression (string propertyName, string expression);
abstract member SetExpression : string * string -> unit
override this.SetExpression : string * string -> unit
Public Sub SetExpression (propertyName As String, expression As String)

Parameters

propertyName
String

The name of the property to which to assign the expression.

expression
String

Implements

Examples

The following code example creates a package and adds a DtsEventHandler for the package OnError event. Using the SetExpression, the FailParentOnFailure property is modified. Using the GetExpression method, the new value and associated expression are displayed.

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

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Sample  
{  
    class SSISProgram  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            Package pkg = new Package();  
            // Set up a DtsEventHandler for the package OnError event.  
            DtsEventHandler dtsEH = (DtsEventHandler)pkg.EventHandlers.Add("OnError");  

            // Show the value of DebugMode on the container before modifying it.  
            Console.WriteLine("Original FailParentOnFailure = {0}", dtsEH.FailParentOnFailure);  

            // Use SetExpression to set DebugMode to "true".  
            String myExpression = "True";  
            dtsEH.SetExpression("FailParentOnFailure", myExpression);  

            //Validate the package to set the expression onto the property.  
            DTSExecResult valResult = pkg.Validate(null, null, null, null);  

            // Retrieve the new value and the expression.  
            String myNewExpression = dtsEH.GetExpression("FailParentOnFailure");  
            Console.WriteLine("New value of FailParentOnFailure: {0}", dtsEH.FailParentOnFailure);  
            Console.WriteLine("Expression for FailParentOnFailure: {0}", myNewExpression);  
        }  
    }  
}

    Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)   
        Dim pkg As New Package()

        Dim dtsEH As DtsEventHandler = CType(pkg.EventHandlers.Add("OnError"), DtsEventHandler)  

        ' Show the value of DebugMode on the container before modifying it.  
        Console.WriteLine("Original FailParentOnFailure = {0}", dtsEH.FailParentOnFailure)  

        ' Use SetExpression to set DebugMode to "true".  
        Dim myExpression As String = "True"  
        dtsEH.SetExpression("FailParentOnFailure", myExpression)  

        'Validate the package to set the expression onto the property.  
        Dim valResult As DTSExecResult = pkg.Validate(Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)  

        ' Retrieve the new value and the expression.  
        Dim myNewExpression As String = dtsEH.GetExpression("FailParentOnFailure")  
        Console.WriteLine("New value of FailParentOnFailure: {0}", dtsEH.FailParentOnFailure)  
        Console.WriteLine("Expression for FailParentOnFailure: {0}", myNewExpression)  

    End Sub 'Main  
End Class  

Sample Output:

Original FailParentOnFailure = False

New value of FailParentOnFailure: True

Expression for FailParentOnFailure: True
