Gets the current Variable object from the collection.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Current As Variable

public Variable Current { get; }

public:
property Variable^ Current {
    Variable^ get ();
}

/** @property */
public Variable get_Current ()

public function get Current () : Variable

Property Value

The current Variable object.

Remarks

After an enumerator is created, or after a call to the Reset method, the MoveNext method must be called to advance the enumerator to the first element of the collection before the enumerator can read the value of the Current property; otherwise, Current is undefined and an exception is thrown.

Current also throws an exception if the last call to MoveNext returned false, which indicates the end of the collection.

Current does not move the position of the enumerator, and consecutive calls to Current return the same object until either MoveNext or Reset is called.

An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is invalidated and becomes irrecoverable; thus, the next call to MoveNext or Reset throws an InvalidOperationException. However, if the collection is modified between calls to MoveNext and Current, Current returns the element that it is set to, even if the enumerator has been invalidated.

Example

The following code example adds a variable to the package. The code example uses various methods to locate the variable and print out the name, value, and namespace.

Sample Output:

The variable was found? True

Variable: myCustomVar, 3
