            string mySample = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\CalculatedColumns Sample\CalculatedColumns\CalculatedColumns.dtsx";
            // Create the Application, and load the sample.
            Application app = new Application();
            Package pkg = app.LoadPackage(mySample, null);

            // Get the LogProviders collection from the package.
            LogProviders logProvs = pkg.LogProviders;
            foreach (LogProvider logProv in logProvs)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ConfigString:   {0}", logProv.ConfigString);
