Remarks

This attribute is applied to managed Integration Services connection managers that are derived from ConnectionManagerBase. The attribute identifies a class as a managed connection manager and provides information through its properties that control how the SSIS Designer displays and interacts with the object.

The DisplayName and ConnectionType properties are required properties. The DisplayName is displayed in the list of connection managers in Business Intelligence Development Studio.

Examples

The following example shows a class that implements this attribute.

  [DtsConnection(DisplayName = "MyConnectionManager",
    Description = "Custom Connection Manager for Testing",
    IconResource = "MyConnectionManager.MyConnectionMgrIcon.ico",
    UITypeName = "MyNamespace.MyConnectionManagerClassName," +
    "MyAssemblyName,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral," +
    "PublicKeyToken=<value>")]
public class MyConnnectionMgr : ConnectionManagerBase
{
}

<DtsConnection(DisplayName:="MyConnectionManager", _
  Description:="Custom Connection Manager for Testing", _
  IconResource:="MyConnectionManager.MyConnectionMgrIcon.ico", _
  UITypeName:="MyNamespace.MyConnectionManagerClassName,MyAssemblyName," & _
  "Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=<value>")> _
Public Class MyConnnectionMgr
     Inherits ConnectionManagerBase
End Class
