DtsProperty.PropertyKind Property

Gets the DTSPropertyKind enumeration that contains information about the custom attributes on a property. This information is used by the designer.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property PropertyKind As DTSPropertyKind
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As DtsProperty
Dim value As DTSPropertyKind

value = instance.PropertyKind

public DTSPropertyKind PropertyKind { get; }

public:
property DTSPropertyKind PropertyKind {
    DTSPropertyKind get ();
}

member PropertyKind : DTSPropertyKind

function get PropertyKind () : DTSPropertyKind

Examples

This object is used in the DtsProperties collection, which contains information about each property in various objects in which it is implemented, including the Package object. The example below returns a DtsProperties collection for a package, and then iterates through the package properties, displaying several values, including PropertyKind.
