Article
12/03/2008

Gets or sets a Boolean that indicates whether Destination information is located in a package variable.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.FileSystemTask (in microsoft.sqlserver.filesystemtask.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property IsDestinationPathVariable As Boolean

public bool IsDestinationPathVariable { get; set; }

public:
virtual property bool IsDestinationPathVariable {
    bool get () sealed;
    void set (bool value) sealed;
}

/** @property */
public final boolean get_IsDestinationPathVariable ()

/** @property */
public final void set_IsDestinationPathVariable (boolean value)

public final function get IsDestinationPathVariable () : boolean

public final function set IsDestinationPathVariable (value : boolean)

Property Value

true if the Destination information is found in a package variable; false if the destination is a FILE connection manager.

Example

The following code example creates a FileSystemTask as an Executable in a package. The FileSystemTask copies a test folder, which contains two subfolders and a .txt file, to another folder. The destination is an existing folder, not a variable, so the IsDestinationPathVariable is set to false, and the Destination property is set to reference a FILE connection manager.
