VariableEnumerator.Current Property

Gets the current Variable object from the collection.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Current As Variable
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As VariableEnumerator
Dim value As Variable

value = instance.Current
public Variable Current { get; }
public:
property Variable^ Current {
    Variable^ get ();
}
member Current : Variable
function get Current () : Variable

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variable
The current Variable object.

Remarks

After an enumerator is created, or after a call to the Reset method, the MoveNext method must be called to advance the enumerator to the first element of the collection before the enumerator can read the value of the Current property; otherwise, Current is undefined and an exception is thrown.

Current also throws an exception if the last call to MoveNext returned false, which indicates the end of the collection.

Current does not move the position of the enumerator, and consecutive calls to Current return the same object until either MoveNext or Reset is called.

An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is invalidated and becomes irrecoverable; thus, the next call to MoveNext or Reset throws an InvalidOperationException. However, if the collection is modified between calls to MoveNext and Current, Current returns the element that it is set to, even if the enumerator has been invalidated.

Examples

The following code example adds a variable to the package. The code example uses various methods to locate the variable and print out the name, value, and namespace.
