Methods

	Name	Description
	AcceptBreakpointManager	This method is called by the run-time engine when a task or container is created, and passes it a BreakpointManager manager to allow the task to create, remove, and check the status of breakpoints. This method is called by the runtime and is not used in code. (Inherited from DtsContainer.)
	CheckSignature	Checks the status of the digital signature of the package.
	Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from DtsContainer.)
	Equals	Determines whether two object instances are equal. (Inherited from DtsObject.)
	Execute()	Returns a DTSExecResult enumeration that contains information about the success or failure of the package execution.
	Execute(Connections, Variables, IDTSEvents, IDTSLogging, Object)	Runs the application, container, or package as part of a package workflow. (Inherited from DtsContainer.)
	ExportConfigurationFile	Creates an XML file that contains all deployable variables in the package.
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	FindReferencedObjects	Returns a reference object enumeration.
	GetBreakpointTargets	Returns a BreakpointTargets collection. Depending on the setting of the onlyEnabled parameter, the collection contains all breakpoint targets in the package, or only enabled breakpoint targets.
	GetExpression	Returns a String that contains the expression for the specified property. Null means no expression is assigned.
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from DtsObject.)

	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	ImportConfigurationFile	Loads a configuration file associated with the package.
	LoadFromXML(XmlNode, IDTSEvents)	This method is not callable by your application code. To load a package saved as .xml, use the Application.LoadPackage method. (Inherited from DtsContainer.)
	LoadFromXML(String, IDTSEvents)	Loads a package and all its objects that have been saved to memory in XML format. To load a package that is saved to the hard drive, use the Application.LoadPackage method.

	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	ProcessConfiguration	Sets configuration information for a package and its objects.
	RegenerateID	Creates a new GUID for the package and updates the package ID property.

	SaveToXML(String%, IDTSEvents)	Saves the package to memory in an XML format. To save a package as .xml to the hard drive, use the Application.SaveToXml method.
	SaveToXML(XmlDocument%, XmlNode, IDTSEvents)	This method is not callable by your application code. To save a package as .xml, use the Application.SaveToXml method. (Inherited from DtsContainer.)
	SetExpression	Assigns the specified expression to the property. Specify nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) to remove an existing expression from the property.
	SetWrappedExecutable	Infrastructure. (Inherited from EventsProvider.)

Remarks

The package is a collection of other containers, connections, tasks, transformations, variables, configurations, and precedence constraints. Packages can be created programmatically, or by using the SSIS Designer graphical tool. Packages can be saved to various locations, including Microsoft SQL Server or an XML file.
