Package.PrecedenceConstraints Property
Returns the collection of PrecedenceConstraint objects. This field is read-only.
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in microsoft.sqlserver.manageddts.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property PrecedenceConstraints As PrecedenceConstraints
public PrecedenceConstraints PrecedenceConstraints { get; }
public:
virtual property PrecedenceConstraints^ PrecedenceConstraints {
PrecedenceConstraints^ get () sealed;
}
/** @property */
public final PrecedenceConstraints get_PrecedenceConstraints ()
public final function get PrecedenceConstraints () : PrecedenceConstraints
Property Value
A PrecedenceConstraints collection that contains PrecedenceConstraint objects.
Remarks
Returns the collection of PrecedenceConstraint objects that contain information about conditions that must occur before a step can be released for execution. For more information about precedence constraints, see Precedence Constraints.
Example
The following code example adds two tasks to the package, and places a precedence constraing between them. It then counts the number of constraints in the package collection.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask;
namespace DataFlow_Conceptual
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Package p = new Package();
// Add a File System task.
Executable eFileTask1 = p.Executables.Add("STOCK:FileSystemTask");
TaskHost thFileHost1 = eFileTask1 as TaskHost;
// Add a second File System task.
Executable eFileTask2 = p.Executables.Add("STOCK:FileSystemTask");
TaskHost thFileHost2 = eFileTask2 as TaskHost;
// Put a precedence constraint between the tasks.
// Set the constraint to be that thFileTask2 cannot run
// unless thFileTask1 completes.
PrecedenceConstraint pcFileTasks = p.PrecedenceConstraints.Add((Executable)thFileHost1, (Executable) thFileHost2);
pcFileTasks.Value = DTSExecResult.Completion;
// Return and show the count of precedence constraints in the package.
PrecedenceConstraints pCons = p.PrecedenceConstraints;
Console.WriteLine("Precedence constraints in package = {0}", pCons.Count);
}
}
}
