propertyName As String, _
expression As String _
)
public void SetExpression (
string propertyName,
string expression
)
public:
virtual void SetExpression (
String^ propertyName,
String^ expression
) sealed
public final void SetExpression (
String propertyName,
String expression
)
public final function SetExpression (
propertyName : String,
expression : String
)
Parameters
- propertyName
The name of the property to which to assign the expression.
- expression
The expression.
Remarks

Example
The following code example shows how to use the SetExpression and GetExpression methods of the TaskHost. For this code example, the hosted task is the BulkInsertTask.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.BulkInsertTask;
namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Sample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Package pkg = new Package();
TaskHost th = (TaskHost)pkg.Executables.Add("STOCK:BulkInsertTask");
// View information about the CheckConstraints property
// before setting it using the SetExpression method.
Boolean checkConstraint = (Boolean)th.Properties["CheckConstraints"].GetValue(th);
Console.WriteLine("Original value of CheckConstraints: {0}", checkConstraint);
// Use SetExpression to set the value to true.
String myTrueString = "true";
th.Properties["CheckConstraints"].SetExpression(th, myTrueString);
// Validate the package to set the expression onto the property.
DTSExecResult valResult = pkg.Validate(null, null, null, null);
// Retrieve the new value and the expression.
checkConstraint = (Boolean)th.Properties["CheckConstraints"].GetValue(th);
String myExpression = th.Properties["CheckConstraints"].GetExpression(th);
Console.WriteLine("New value of CheckConstraints: {0}", checkConstraint);
Console.WriteLine("Expression for CheckConstraints: {0}", myExpression);
}
}
}
Sample Output:
Original value of CheckConstraints: False
New value of CheckConstraints: True
Expression for CheckConstraints: true
