C# Script Task - MessageBox Variables

I dont know C#, so I thought I would start simple and try to do message box a variable. I am struggling even with that.
In VB.net I would print a value of the variable in a message box using the following syntax.
                Msgbox(dts.variables(“VariableName”).value.tostring)
In C#
                MessageBox.Show(Dts.Variables
At the point of selecting variables it is giving me this message.
                Error      1              Non-invocable member 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTAProxy.ScriptObjectModel.Variables' cannot be used like a method.
I have following using statements defined. Do I need more?
                using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.VSTAProxy;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTAProxy;
I might be missing something. Can anyone help?
Thanks

C# Script Task string variable replace wont replace

The code below ought to replace "A" with "B" but it doesnt.
Please tell me how to make this work. Thanks!

Doug,
it returns a new string (does not assign to the same)
So you need fn = fn.Replace("A", "B");

SQL 2008 R2 - SSIS C# Script Task - Not Setting Variable

OK... I am stumped. I am trying to set the variable "User::TicketDB_Get_SQL" from a Script Task since it is dynamic... and well it isn't working :(
I can see I am supposed to be setting the value, but when I do breaks and watch that variable the new value is not being set. Here is my C# code... Can someone look and see what the heck I might be doing wrong:

SSIS : Read Rows from an Object variable in SSIS Script Task which is looped many times.

Hello All,
Here is what I am trying to do...
1. I am having two rows, one column in an Object Variable. (vLoopCountObj).
2. I am having 30 Rows, 2 Columns in my second Object Variable (vTableRowsObj)
3. I have a FOR EACH LOOP which will run for number of rows in vLoopCountObj i.e 2 times here.
4. I have a Script Task inside the FOR EACH LOOP to display all the rows of vTableRowsObj.
5. When I execute, 30 Rows gets displayed only once. It will not display when the loop goes for second iteration. Please help me to display for second time.
6. I have used below code to display the rows whithin the script task which is in SSIS dataflow task.

Hi Raj,
It is verrrry interesting issue. I can also confirm that it doesnt loop again. I've made a simple test and figured that in the second loop even you fill the Dataadapter, record count is zero. Which brings me up to the idea: Somehow, after you read the object
variable resultset, you can not read it again in the for each loop.
Strange, probably a bug or a technical issue that is beyond my existing knowledge.
I can provide a workaround. You can also loop in script task for first variable. (Nested loops)
Let other members to examine and comment on this.

Onur

Variable of Type "Object" is getting Null in script task

I have 3 components as below
1.   Execute Sql Task ---> It will fetch The data from Database using ConnectionType "OLEDB" ("Full Result Set" its returning) and Store it in the Variable as below,
      "ConfigDetails"   "Scope --> Package"    "Type - Object".
2. Script Task (First) ---->   Here "ConfigDetails" Variable is part of "ReadOnlyVariables", So i am accessing this varaible and populating data from it in the Data Table object as below,
OleDbDataAdapter configAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
DataTable dtConfigurationList = new DataTable();
object config = Dts.Variables["ConfigDetails"].Value;
configAdapter.Fill(dtConfigurationList, config);
So here i am successfull in populating data in the data table .
3. Script Task (Second)--> Same thig i am doing in second script task also as "First"
Here "ConfigDetails" Variable is part of "ReadOnlyVariables", So i am accessing this varaible and populating data from it in the Data Table object as below,
OleDbDataAdapter configAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
DataTable dtConfigurationList = new DataTable();
object config = Dts.Variables["ConfigDetails"].Value;
configAdapter.Fill(dtConfigurationList, config);
So here it will execute successfully without any error. But no data is there in the data table .
If i skip first script task, second script task is able to populate the data. But i am not righting any code to nullify the object and its part of "Read Only Varaibles."
So please help me what i am doing wrong.
            configAdapter.Fill(dtConfigurationList, config);

What do you pass to the config variable?

Pass variables to child via C# script task ?

I don't want to use package configurations to pass variables from Parent to child package. I'd prefer to pass the variables to child, from a C# script task in the parent package. Can this be done ? Here is the pseudocode for what I hope to do -
//code in script task of parent package
Main(){
Object parentObj = SSIS.ParentPackage.myObject;
String parentStr = SSIS.ParentPackage.myString;
callChildPackage(parentObj, parentStr);

You have four choices for this:
Use Parent-Child variable configurations
Place the value in a variable in the parent package, which can be referenced from the child package, when run with an Execute Package Task. (http://agilebi.com/jwelch/2009/10/03/passing-an-object-from-a-parent-package-to-a-child)
Take over the execution of the child package entirely executing the package from inside your C# script task.
Use something like the Task Factory Advanced Execute Package task. (Full Disclosure: I work for Pragmatic Works)
Item 3 is probably closest to what you want. You'd need to use the Package.Execute method to run the child package yourself. The advantage of doing that is you can set child package variables explicitly before executing the package.

Script task within child package - breakpoint wont hit, trying to find missing variable

Im calling a child package and its failing on a script task with a message which indicates one of the variables cant be found
The script threw an exception: The element cannot be found in a collection.
So I remove the readonly/readwrite section, and place a breakpoint on the very first line of the script task. When I run the main package, by breakpoint on the child package script task isnt hit but I still get the error about the missing variable.
How can I find out which variable its complaining about?

You can raise an event in the script using FireInformation and pass into it the variable content as string
examples:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136054.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1
The variable content will put into the Output window (go to View menu to enable it).

Creating an empty file using variable in script task

I created an empty file by writing a code in script task. how can i use a variable to do the same job.
System.IO.File.Create(@"C:\OneEmptyTextFile.txt");

Hi SyedF,
Just as you said, we should refer to the code below to create an empty file in the specified path using System.IO.File.Create:
System.IO.File.Create(Path)
If we want to use a variable named FilePath to control the path of the created file, please refer to the following code:
Dim Path As String
Path = Dts.Variables("FilePath").Value
System.IO.File.Create(Path)

Script task error during the creation of partition by reading a table and using AMO - SSAS 2012

Hi,
I need to create SSAS (tabular) and process partitions in an authomatic manner. Moreover, the partitioning is respect to a category, an year and a month.
Category, year and month are resident on a table to read to create the SSAS partitions.
So, in a SSIS pkg:
a. I've created a data flow task to read the SQL Server table having category, year and month data,
b. I've connected the output of the ole db source as the input for a recordset destination, associated to an object variable,
c. I've used a for each loop container (ado enumerator) specifying the object variable and three variables, for category, year and month,
d. inside the for each loop container I've created a script task using AMO (visual basic) to control for any existing partitions, if not presents to create the new ones and then to process them.
For the first iteration, a new partition has been created and processed successfully, but then, for other category, year and month values the script task fails. I've controlled the code many times and I've tried to put returning messageboxes but I've found
anything. The error is a generic one and no other info are returned.
Well, any suggests to me in order to solve this issue, please?
Many thanks

Hi, thanks, I've solved adding to the code end the SSAS server connection termination.
Bye

Hi SSISJoost,
I am so glad you responded to this thread. You are absolutely right. I copied the entire code including the project name (guid) and that solved the error problem.
Now, what did you do to get the message box? I added the watch and I could see the values but how do I get these values in a table? If I remember correctly, in your blog, you mentioned something about using derived columns. I am familiar with Derived Columns
but how do I do that? I appreciate your response.
Thank you.
Sanjeev
Sanjeev Jha
I used a second script task to show all variable values. It has a
MessageBox in it and between all
variables I added a
newline to make it more readable...
But with an Execute SQL Task and parameters you can also put these values in a Table... or you can read the file in a Data Flow Task and add those variables (as metadata) to each record with a Derived Column

SSIS Package, Use Datepicker control in VB script task

Dim dateTimePicker1 As New DateTimePicker()
Controls.AddRange(New Control() {dateTimePicker1})
MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString())
dateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
MessageBox.Show(dateTimePicker1.Value.ToString())
In an SSIS package, 2008r2.... I trying to add a messagebox to a script task that contains a datepicker control.
I will pass the date to a variable then stored procedure. The code above almost works except I get "Name Controls not declared". I am using
System.Windows.Forms.
Anyone know how to correct?
Thanks,
MIke

Nope
You cant have forms etc added to script task inside SSIS and make it interactive
If your intention is to pass a value from outside you need to make use of configurations or use command line arguments with utilities like dtexec.

[quote]Error: The script returned a failure result.[/quote]
Can you all please help me in finding where i am going wrong? please check below code which i have used in script task.
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task
Write scripts using Microsoft Visual C# 2008.
The ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Net.Mail;
namespace ST_9bc84810a62a401aa44ddd905bcd369d.csproj
[System.AddIn.AddIn("ScriptMain", Version = "1.0", Publisher = "", Description = "")]
public partial class ScriptMain : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase
#region VSTA generated code
enum ScriptResults
Success = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Success,
Failure = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Failure
#endregion
The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.
To access the object model, use the Dts property. Connections, variables, events,
and logging features are available as members of the Dts property as shown in the following examples.
To reference a variable, call Dts.Variables["MyCaseSensitiveVariableName"].Value;
To post a log entry, call Dts.Log("This is my log text", 999, null);
To fire an event, call Dts.Events.FireInformation(99, "test", "hit the help message", "", 0, true);
To use the connections collection use something like the following:
ConnectionManager cm = Dts.Connections.Add("OLEDB");
cm.ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Provider=SQLNCLI10;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;";
Before returning from this method, set the value of Dts.TaskResult to indicate success or failure.
To open Help, press F1.

Error in script task "The name 'file' does not exist in the current context"

I am new to the c# scripting and SSIS come from PHP and Foxpro.
I am using SSIS with a script task and I am getting am errror "The name 'file' does not exist in the current context" in the following code in the picture below: (See
Why does the object named "file" go away after the first refrence to it?? How do I make it avaliable for the whole script??
     public void Main()
        String cFileInfo = null;
        DateTime dFTPFileDateTime;
   bool fireAgain = true;
            List<IRemoteFileInfo> fileList = (List<IRemoteFileInfo>)Dts.Variables["SFTPResult"].Value;
            foreach (IRemoteFileInfo file in fileList)
                cFileInfo = file.Name + "|" +file.ModifiedTime +"|"+ file.Size;
            Dts.Events.FireInformation(1, "Name ", cFileInfo, "", 0, ref fireAgain);
            dFTPFileDateTime =
file.ModifiedTime;
<< This is where the error is occuring.
            Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;

I think you forgot { and } after the loop... Or is that deliberately?
