using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Text;  
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;  

namespace Add_Remove_Vars  
{  
    class Program  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            Package pkg = new Package();  
            Variables pkgVars = pkg.Variables;  
            Variable myVar = pkg.Variables.Add("myCustomVar", false, "User", "3");  

            // Verify whether the variable is in the collection now.  
            Boolean hasMyVar = pkg.Variables.Contains("myCustomVar");  
            Console.WriteLine("The variable was found? {0}", hasMyVar);  

            Console.WriteLine("---------------------------");  
            // Loop over the collection using the foreach keyword.  
            foreach (Variable pkgVar in pkgVars)  
            {  
                // Print variables only from the User namespace.  
                if (pkgVar.Namespace == "User")  
                {  
                Console.WriteLine("Variable: {0}, {1}", pkgVar.Name, pkgVar.Value.ToString());  
                 }  
            }  
            Console.WriteLine("---------------------------");  
            // Remove the variable from the namespace.  
            pkg.Variables.Remove("myCustomVar");  

            // Loop over the collection again.  
            foreach (Variable pkgVar in pkgVars)  
            {  
                // Print variables only from the User namespace. Nothing should show.  
                if (pkgVar.Namespace == "User")  
                {  
                    Console.WriteLine("Variable: {0}, {1}", pkgVar.Name, pkgVar.Value.ToString());  
                }  
            }  
            Console.WriteLine("---------------------------");  
            Console.WriteLine("");  
        }  
    }
