Remarks

To verify that the folder was created, use the following Transact-SQL query, which selects all packages stored in the File System folder.

select * from sysssispackagefolders

Or, connect to the Integration Services server, expand Stored Packages, and then expand MSDB. The new folder that has the name given in strNewFolderName will be listed.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create a new folder named myNewFolder. The folder is stored in the sysssispackagefolders table in the SQL Server msdb database.

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

            //Create a folder, myNewFolder, in the 
            // SQL Server msdb database.
            app.CreateFolderOnSqlServer("\\", "myNewFolder", "yourserver", null, null);
        }
    }

           ' The variable pkg points to the location
            ' of the ExecuteProcess package sample 
            ' that is installed with the SSIS 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() 
 
            'Create a folder, myNewFolder, in the 
            ' SQL Server msdb database.
