PipelineComponent.BufferManager Property

Gets the IDTSBufferManager100 of the pipeline component.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public ReadOnly Property BufferManager As IDTSBufferManager100
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As PipelineComponent
Dim value As IDTSBufferManager100

value = instance.BufferManager
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public IDTSBufferManager100 BufferManager { get; }
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public:
property IDTSBufferManager100^ BufferManager {
    IDTSBufferManager100^ get ();
}
[<CLSCompliantAttribute(false)>]
member BufferManager : IDTSBufferManager100
function get BufferManager () : IDTSBufferManager100

Remarks

The BufferManager is a read only, execution-time property that is first available to components in the PreExecute method.

The FindColumnByLineageID method is used to locate a component's columns in the IDTSInputColumnCollection100 or IDTSOutputColumnCollection100 of the component, in the PipelineBuffer. This is necessary because the number of columns contained in the PipelineBuffer may exceed the number of columns expected by the component.

The BufferManager is also used to create new IDTSBuffer100 objects using the CreateBuffer, CreateFlatBuffer, and CreateVirtualBuffer methods. However, these methods are not supported from managed code, and should only be used when writing native C++ components.

Examples

The following code example shows how to use the BufferManager property to locate the columns in a PipelineBuffer row.

using System;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;

namespace Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.Dts
{
    public class SampleComponent : PipelineComponent
    {
        public override void ProcessInput( int InputID, PipelineBuffer buffer )
        {
            IDTSInput100 i = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID( InputID );
            foreach( IDTSInputColumn100 col in i.InputColumnCollection)
            {
                int colIndex = BufferManager.FindColumnByLineageID(i.Buffer, col.LineageID);
                BufferColumn bc =buffer.GetColumnInfo(colIndex);
            }
        }
    }
}
