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

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Dangling As Boolean
    Get
    Set
'Usage
Dim instance As IDTSOutput100
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.Dangling

instance.Dangling = value

bool Dangling { get; set; }

property bool Dangling {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

abstract Dangling : bool with get, set

function get Dangling () : boolean
function set Dangling (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the output is unattached during execution; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The data flow task posts a validation error when an unattached output is discovered, since this normally prevents the task from running. Setting this property to true overcomes this restriction and allows components to maintain unattached outputs without causing a validation error. In contrast, if this property is set to true, and the output is attached to an input, the data flow task fails validation.
