	Name	Description
	AcceptBreakpointManager	This method is called by the run-time engine when a task or container is created, and passes it a BreakpointManager manager to allow the task to create, remove, and check the status of breakpoints. This method is called by the runtime and is not used in code. (Inherited from DtsContainer.)
	AddDataTapPoint	Add a data tap point on a given data flow path of the given data flow task.

Remarks

The package is a collection of other containers, connections, tasks, transformations, variables, configurations, and precedence constraints. Packages can be created programmatically, or by using the SSIS Designer graphical tool. Packages can be saved to various locations, including Microsoft SQL Server or an XML file.

For more information about packages, see Integration Services (SSIS) Packages.
