Examples

The following example loads a package from the Samples folder, and then retrieves information about the package, such as its CreationDate, CreatorComputerName, and CreatorName.

static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            // The variable pkg points to the location  
            // of the ExecuteProcess package sample   
            // that is installed with the samples.  
            string pkg = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\ExecuteProcess Sample\ExecuteProcess\UsingExecuteProcess.dtsx";  

            Application app = new Application();  
            Package p = app.LoadPackage(pkg, null);  

            //Retrieve creation information about the package.  
            DateTime createDate = p.CreationDate;  
            String computerCreated = p.CreatorComputerName;  
            String creatorName = p.CreatorName;  

            Console.WriteLine("Package creation date = " + createDate);  
            Console.WriteLine("Creation Computer = " + computerCreated);  
            Console.WriteLine("Creator Name = " + creatorName);  
        }

Shared  Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)  
            ' The variable pkg points to the location  
            ' of the ExecuteProcess package sample   
            ' that is installed with the samples.  
            Dim pkg As String =  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\ExecuteProcess Sample\ExecuteProcess\UsingExecuteProcess.dtsx"   

            Dim app As Application =  New Application()   
            Dim p As Package =  app.LoadPackage(pkg,Nothing)   

            'Retrieve creation information about the package.  
            Dim createDate As DateTime =  p.CreationDate   
            Dim computerCreated As String =  p.CreatorComputerName   
            Dim creatorName As String =  p.CreatorName   

            Console.WriteLine("Package creation date = " + createDate)  
            Console.WriteLine("Creation Computer = " + computerCreated)  
            Console.WriteLine("Creator Name = " + creatorName)  
End Sub

Sample Output:

Package creation date = 5/5/2003 5:46:00 PM

Creation Computer =

Creator Name =
