Saves the package to memory in an XML format. To save a package as .xml to the hard drive, use the SaveToXml(String, Package, IDTSEvents) method.

public:
 void SaveToXML([Runtime::InteropServices::Out] System::String ^ % packageXml, Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::IDTSEvents ^ events);

public void SaveToXML (out string packageXml, Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.IDTSEvents events);

override this.SaveToXML : string * Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.IDTSEvents -> unit

Public Sub SaveToXML (ByRef packageXml As String, events As IDTSEvents)

Parameters

packageXml: String

An out parameter that contains the XML that is created when the package is saved.

events: IDTSEvents

An object that implements the events to raise errors, warnings, or informational events.

Examples

The following code example creates a package and sets several package properties. The package is then saved to an in-memory XmlDocument using the SaveToXML method. Next, a new task is added to the package. The final task of the code example is to save the entire XML to a file on the hard-drive using SaveToXml.

Remarks

If you want to save a package as XML to the hard drive, use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.SaveToXml method. If you want to save the package to the File System, use Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.SaveToDtsServer. If you want to save the package to the MSDB database, use Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.SaveToSqlServer or Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.SaveToSqlServerAs methods. When you call the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.SaveToXml methods on the Application, the runtime will iterate through the tasks, connection managers, log providers, and all other objects that are contained by the package and call the SaveToXML method on each of them. The contained objects have code in their SaveToXML that creates an XmlElement for each property that the object must save, and a value for the element. The package contains the XmlDocument and the objects append their specific elements into the package’s XmlDocument. Therefore, you do not directly call the SaveToXML on the individual objects, but call the method on the Application object, and the runtime will cascade through the package objects and call the SaveToXML for you.
