DtsConvert.VarTypeFromTypeCode(TypeCode) Method

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Assembly:

Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll

Converts a system TypeCode to an Integration Services Variant data type.

public:
 static System::UInt16 VarTypeFromTypeCode(TypeCode typeCode);

public static ushort VarTypeFromTypeCode (TypeCode typeCode);

static member VarTypeFromTypeCode : TypeCode -> uint16

Public Shared Function VarTypeFromTypeCode (typeCode As TypeCode) As UShort

Parameters

typeCode

TypeCode

The system http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=25731 TypeCode to convert to the SSIS type.

Returns

UInt16

The SSIS type for the system TypeCode.

Examples

The following example shows a pipeline component that overrides the RegisterEvents method and creates a custom event using the EventInfos collection, using the VarTypeFromTypeCode to create a reference type.

Public override void RegisterEvents()  
{  
string []parameters = new string[1]{"Parameter1"};  
ushort []types = new ushort[1]{DtsConvert.VarTypeFromTypeCode(TypeCode.String)};  
string []descriptions = new string [1]{"The first parameter."};  

EventInfos.Add("OnPreExecute", "Fires when the PreExecute method runs.", false, ref parameters, ref types, ref descriptions);  
}  

Public Overrides  Sub RegisterEvents()  
String ()parameters = New String(1)  
{  
    "Parameter1"  
}  

System.UInt16 ()types = New System.UInt16(1)  
{  
    DtsConvert.VarTypeFromTypeCode(TypeCode.String)  
}  

String ()descriptions = New String (1)  
{  
    "The first parameter."  
}  

EventInfos.Add("OnPreExecute", "Fires when the PreExecute method runs.", False,  parameters,  types,  descriptions)  
End Sub
