Developing a Custom Task

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

Integration Services uses tasks to perform units of work in support of the extraction, transformation, and loading of data. Integration Services includes a variety of tasks that perform the most frequently used actions, from executing a SQL statement to downloading a file from an FTP site. If the included tasks and supported actions do not completely meet your requirements, you can create a custom task.

To create a custom task, you have to create a class that inherits from the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Task base class, apply the DtsTaskAttribute attribute to your new class, and override the important methods and properties of the base class, including the Execute method.

In This Section

This section describes how to create, configure, and code a custom task and its optional custom user interface.
