The DTSBufferManager type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	IsVirtual	Gets a value that indicates whether the specified buffer is a virtual buffer. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateBuffer	Creates an IDTSBuffer100 based on the specified buffer type. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	CreateFlatBuffer	Creates an IDTSBuffer100 of the specified size. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	CreateVirtualBuffer	Infrastructure. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	FindColumnByLineageID	Gets the location, by index, of a column in a specified IDTSBuffer100 object. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	GetBLOBObject	Creates an IDTSBLOBObject100 that is used to manipulate binary large objects (BLOBs). (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	GetColumnCount	Gets the number of columns in a specified registered buffer type. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	GetColumnInfo	Gets the DTP_BUFFCOL structure for a column in a specified buffer definition. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	GetRowWidth	Gets the size, in bytes, of the row defined for the buffer type definition. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	RegisterBufferType	Registers a buffer type with an IDTSBufferManager100. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)
	RegisterLineageIDs	Infrastructure. (Inherited from IDTSBufferManager100.)

Remarks

The buffer manager is responsible for allocating, managing, and deleting the IDTSBuffer100 objects used by the data flow task and the data flow components, from a source through to the destination. It provides utility functions for registering buffer types, locating columns in a buffer, retrieving metadata about a column in a buffer, and creating private buffers that are used internally by the component that requests the private buffer.

Managed data flow component developers use the buffer manager primarily to locate columns in a PipelineBuffer that were defined in the IDTSInput100 and IDTSOutput100 objects of the component. Managed component developers do not use the buffer manager to create IDTSBuffer100 objects because managed components do not interact directly with the IDTSBuffer100 objects created by the buffer manager. Managed components use the managed PipelineBuffer class that marshals data between managed and native code.
