ScriptComponent.PreExecute Method
Executes custom code that must run before the Script component has processed its inputs and outputs.
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.TxScript (in Microsoft.SqlServer.TxScript.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Sub PreExecute
'Usage
Dim instance As ScriptComponent
instance.PreExecute()
public virtual void PreExecute()
public:
virtual void PreExecute()
abstract PreExecute : unit -> unit
override PreExecute : unit -> unit
public function PreExecute()
Remarks
The Script component developer does not use the ScriptComponent class directly, but indirectly, by coding the methods and properties of the ScriptMain class, which inherits from ScriptComponent through the UserComponent class.
The developer can override the PreExecute method to perform any one-time tasks necessary before processing the rows of data.
Examples
The following code sample demonstrates how the Script component developer might use the PreExecute and PostExecute methods to open and close a text file connection before and after processing. For more information on this sample, see Creating a Destination with the Script Component.

copiedAddressFile = CType(connMgr.AcquireConnection(Nothing), String)
End Sub
Public Overrides Sub PreExecute()

End Sub
Public Overrides Sub MyAddressInput_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As MyAddressInputBuffer)

If Not Row.City_IsNull Then
.Write(Row.City)
End If
.WriteLine()

Public Overrides Sub PostExecute()
