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

Syntax

'Usage
Dim instance As Variable 
Dim value As String 

value = instance.CreationName
public string CreationName { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
A String that contains the name. It may be the fully qualified assembly name (for managed assemblies), or it may be the PROGID or CLSID (for COM DLLs).

Implements

IDTSName.CreationName

Examples

The following example creates a package, adds a ForEachLoop, and adds a variable to the Variables collection of the ForEachLoop. It then retrieves and sets properties on the variable and displays them for viewing, including the CreationName.

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Package p = new Package();
            // Add a sequence to the package executables collection
            Sequence seq = (Sequence)p.Executables.Add("STOCK:SEQUENCE");
            // Add a ForEachLoop to the Sequence
            ForEachLoop feLoop = (ForEachLoop)seq.Executables.Add("STOCK:FOREACHLOOP");

            // Add a variable, v, to the variable collection
           // of the ForEach loop.
            Variable v = feLoop.Variables.Add("v", false, "global", 100);

//  Get and set different variable properties

            // Creation Name (read-only)
            String createName = v.CreationName;

            // Description (read/write)

            // ID (read-only)
            String vID = v.ID;
