PipelineComponentInfo.ComponentType Property

Returns a DTSPipelineComponentType enumerator that identifies a component as a source, destination, or transformation. This property is read-only.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property ComponentType As DTSPipelineComponentType
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As PipelineComponentInfo
Dim value As DTSPipelineComponentType

value = instance.ComponentType

public DTSPipelineComponentType ComponentType { get; }

public:
property DTSPipelineComponentType ComponentType {
    DTSPipelineComponentType get ();
}

member ComponentType : DTSPipelineComponentType

function get ComponentType () : DTSPipelineComponentType

Remarks

This property identifies the component as a source, transformation, or destination component. The designer uses this attribute when grouping components in the Data Flow Items toolbox and organizes the items from top to bottom, sorting source components first, transformation components second, and destination components last.

Examples

The following code sample retrieves the information about the pipeline components from the PipelineComponentInfos collection. The sample iterates through the collection, and then prints the values for the properties in each PipelineComponentInfo, including the ComponentType.

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;

namespace TaskInfos_Item

            Application app = new Application();
            PipelineComponentInfos pInfos = app.PipelineComponentInfos;
            // Iterate through the collection, 
            // printing values for the properties.
            foreach (PipelineComponentInfo pInfo in pInfos)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ComponentType:      {0}", pInfo.ComponentType);
                Console.WriteLine("CreationName:       {0}", pInfo.CreationName);
