Examples

The following code example creates a new FILE connection manager and displays the CreationName assigned to it by the runtime.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask;

namespace FileSystemTask_API
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            String sourceDir = @"C:\TestFolder";
            Package pkg = new Package();
 
            // Create a File connection manager.
            ConnectionManager cm = pkg.Connections.Add("FILE");
            cm.Name = "The FILE connection manager";
            cm.Description = "My FILE connection manager";
            cm.ConnectionString = sourceDir;
            cm.Properties["FileUsageType"].SetValue(cm, DTSFileConnectionUsageType.FolderExists);
            Console.WriteLine("CreationName:  {0}", cm.CreationName);
        }
    }
}
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask
 
Namespace FileSystemTask_API
    Class Program
        Shared  Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
            Dim sourceDir As String =  "C:\TestFolder" 
            Dim pkg As Package =  New Package() 
 
            ' Create a File connection manager.
            Dim cm As ConnectionManager =  pkg.Connections.Add("FILE") 
            cm.Name = "The FILE connection manager"
            cm.Description = "My FILE connection manager"
            cm.ConnectionString = sourceDir
            cm.Properties("FileUsageType").SetValue(cm, DTSFileConnectionUsageType.FolderExists)
            Console.WriteLine("CreationName:  {0}", cm.CreationName)
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Sample Output:
