PipelineComponentInfo.ComponentType Property

Article
12/03/2008

Returns a DTSPipelineComponentType enumerator that identifies a component as a source, destination, or transformation. This property is read-only.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in microsoft.sqlserver.manageddts.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property ComponentType As DTSPipelineComponentType

public DTSPipelineComponentType ComponentType { get; }

public:
property DTSPipelineComponentType ComponentType {
    DTSPipelineComponentType get ();
}

/** @property */
public DTSPipelineComponentType get_ComponentType ()

public function get ComponentType () : DTSPipelineComponentType

Property Value

A value from the DTSPipelineComponentType enumerator.

Remarks

This property identifies the component as a source, transformation, or destination component. The designer uses this attribute when grouping components in the Data Flow Items toolbox and organizes the items from top to bottom, sorting source components first, transformation components second, and destination components last.

Example

The following code sample retrieves the information about the pipeline components from the PipelineComponentInfos collection. The sample iterates through the collection, and then prints the values for the properties in each PipelineComponentInfo, including the ComponentType.

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

namespace TaskInfos_Item
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Application app = new Application();
            PipelineComponentInfos pInfos = app.PipelineComponentInfos;
            // Iterate through the collection, 
            // printing values for the properties.
            foreach (PipelineComponentInfo pInfo in pInfos)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ComponentType:      {0}", pInfo.ComponentType);
                Console.WriteLine("CreationName:       {0}", pInfo.CreationName);
                Console.WriteLine("Description:        {0}", pInfo.Description);
                Console.WriteLine("FileName:           {0}", pInfo.FileName);
                Console.WriteLine("FileNameVersionString:   {0}", pInfo.FileNameVersionString);

                Console.WriteLine("NoEditor:           {0}", pInfo.NoEditor);
                Console.WriteLine("ShapeProgID:        {0}", pInfo.ShapeProgID);
                Console.WriteLine("UITypeName:         {0}", pInfo.UITypeName);
