Returns the specific connection type that was created. This property is read-only.

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

Property Value

Type: System.Object
The object that contains the hosted item. This object is cast to the class that matches the connection type. Except for the connections found in Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.ManagedConnections, these connection objects are native and must be cast to their native class. This is shown by the InnerObject displaying a value of "System.__ComObject" from the code example.

Implements

IDTSObjectHost.InnerObject

Examples

The following code example loads an existing package that has two connections. It iterates through the connection managers in the package and prints out the values for various properties, including the InnerObject.
