namespace LoadFromSQLServerTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // The variable, pkg, points to the location
            // of the ExecuteProcess sample installed with
            // the SSIS package samples.
            string pkg = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples\Integration Services\Package Samples\ExecuteProcess Sample\ExecuteProcess\UsingExecuteProcess.dtsx";
            Application app = new Application();
            Package loadedPkg = app.LoadPackage(pkg, null);

            // Save the package to SQL Server.
            app.SaveToSqlServer(loadedPkg, null, "yourserver", null, null);

            // The package can now be viewed in the 
            // Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, in the 
            // Integration Services / Stored Packages / MSDB folder,
            // with a name of UsingExecuteProcess.
            Package pkgIn = new Package();
            pkgIn = app.LoadFromSqlServer("\\UsingExecuteProcess", "yourserver", null, null, null);
            DateTime pkgCreation = pkgIn.CreationDate;
            Console.WriteLine("Creation Date = {0}", pkgCreation);
        }

serverUserName and serverPassword are SQL authentication

I think the serverUserName and serverPassword mentioned in this method's parameters are only for SQL authenticated accounts (ie. 'sa' and the like), and will not accommodate Windows accounts (domain\account or machine\account).


If you want to use Windows accounts to load the package from SQL, you have to run your custom app under that windows security context when launching your app, or use impersonation, and leave these parameters as NULL (nothing in VB) when calling the method, as shown in the samples above.
