2.4.2 ConfigurationType

The ConfigurationType complex type contains configuration information that is accessed by other elements within the package.

The following is the XSD for the ConfigurationType complex type.

   <xs:complexType name="ConfigurationType">
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element name="Property"
                   maxOccurs="unbounded">
         <xs:complexType>
           <xs:complexContent>
             <xs:extension base="DTS:PropertyElementBaseType">
               <xs:attribute name="Name"
                   type="DTS:ConfigurationPropertyNameEnum"
                   use="required"/>
             </xs:extension>
           </xs:complexContent>
         </xs:complexType>
       </xs:element>
       <xs:element name="PropertyExpression"
                   type="DTS:PropertyExpressionElementType"
                   minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>

The following table provides additional information about the elements, types, and constraints in the ConfigurationType complex type.

Element	Additional constraints	Type definition	Description
Property	In some cases, constraints are placed on the Property element's value for specific values of the Name attribute of the Property element. If such constraints exist, they are specified where the meaning of the particular property name is specified. These constraints MUST be followed. If the optional DataType attribute is present, the value of the Property element MUST be of the type that is specified by the DataType attribute.	Inline in the XSD in this section.	Property elements contain values for many different properties that are associated with an instance of the containing ConfigurationType element, according to the Name attribute of each Property element.
PropertyExpression	Additional constraints exist for the PropertyExpression element. For a description of the constraints, see PropertyExpressionElementType.	PropertyExpressionElementType	The PropertyExpression element serves the same purpose as described for the Property element, except that an expression that is evaluated at run time is contained in the element's value that is stored in the Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) file format.

The following table provides additional information about the attributes and types for the Property element that is declared inline in the complex type declaration. The Property element is an extension of the PropertyElementBaseType type with the addition of the Name attribute, which is specified in the following table.

Attribute	Constraints	Description
Name	None	Specifies the name of the property. Each named property has its own use and interpretation. The meaning of each named property is given with the definition of the type for the Name attribute.
