Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap (in Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Validate As DTSValidationStatus
'Usage
Dim instance As IDTSComponentMetaData100
Dim returnValue As DTSValidationStatus

returnValue = instance.Validate()
DTSValidationStatus Validate()
DTSValidationStatus Validate()
abstract Validate : unit -> DTSValidationStatus 
function Validate() : DTSValidationStatus

Remarks

The Validate method of the component metadata invokes the layout validation routine implemented by the data flow task. This is different from the validation done by a component when the Validate method of the design-time instance of the component is called. When this method is called, the data flow engine:

  • Verifies that the ID of the component is valid.

  • Verifies that the locale specified for the component is installed on the local machine.

  • Verifies that the component has at least one input or one output.

  • Verifies that the input and output column collections are valid.
