FileSystemTask.Source Property

Gets or sets the source file or directory. If IsSourcePathVariable is set to true, gets or sets the package variable name representing the source file or directory.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.FileSystemTask (in microsoft.sqlserver.filesystemtask.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Source As String
public string Source { get; set; }
public:
virtual property String^ Source {
    String^ get () sealed;
    void set (String^ value) sealed;
}
/** @property */
public final String get_Source ()

/** @property */
public final void set_Source (String value)
public final function get Source () : String

public final function set Source (value : String)

Property Value

A String that contains the connection manager or variable that contains the source folder or file information.

Remarks

If the source is not a variable, then the source is a file connection manager. The IsSourcePathVariable property determines if it is a variable.

Example

The following code example creates a FileSystemTask as an Executable in a package. The FileSystemTask copies a test folder, which contains two subfolders and a .txt file, to another folder. The source is an existing folder, not a variable, so the IsSourcePathVariable is set to false, and the Source property is set to reference a FILE connection manager.
