Determines the attribute to set on the file or directory.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask

Members

Member name Description
Normal The file or directory has no other attributes set. This is valid only if used alone.
Archive The file or directory is ready for archiving.
Hidden The file or directory is not visible.
ReadOnly The file or directory is read-only.
System The file or directory is an operating system file.

Examples

The following code example creates a FileSystemTask as an Executable in a package. The FileSystemTask copies a test folder, which contains two subfolders and a .txt file, to another folder. The folder and subfolders that are the source folders have their attributes set to read-only because the the Attributes property is set to ReadOnly in the code example.
