Parameters

connections
A collection of Connections used by the task.

variableDispenser
A VariableDispenser object for locking variables.

events
An object that implements the IDTSInfoEvents interface.

log
An object that implements the IDTSLogging interface.

eventInfos
A collection that contains the events to be raised during execution of the task.

logEntryInfos
A collection of log entries.

refTracker
An object reference tracker.

Remarks

For the XMLTask and all other stock tasks, this method is used to set the log events of each task. The run-time engine calls this method immediately after the task is created, and before validation, execution, or persistence operations. This method is not used in code. However, if you are coding a custom task, you may need to override this method and provide any initialization values for your task.

Example

Task developers define custom events by overriding the InitializeTask method of the Task base class, and creating a new EventInfo. The following code sample shows the InitializeTask method of a custom task, where two custom events are created, and added to the eventInfos collection.

public override void InitializeTask(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variables, IDTSInfoEvents events, IDTSLogging log, EventInfos eventInfos, LogEntryInfos logEntryInfos, ObjectReferenceTracker refTracker)
{
    this.eventInfos = eventInfos;
    string[] paramNames = new string[1];
    TypeCode[] paramTypes = new TypeCode[1]{TypeCode.Int32};
    string[] paramDescriptions = new string[1];

    paramNames[0] = "InitialValue";
    paramDescriptions[0] = "The value before increment.";

    this.eventInfos.Add("OnBeforeIncrement","Fires before the task increments the value.",true,paramNames,paramTypes,paramDescriptions);
    this.onBeforeIncrement = this.eventInfos["OnBeforeIncrement"];

    paramDescriptions[0] = "The value after increment.";
    this.eventInfos.Add("OnAfterIncrement","Fires after the initial value is updated.",true,paramNames, paramTypes,paramDescriptions);
    this.onAfterIncrement = this.eventInfos["OnAfterIncrement"];
}
