Legacy Code Example

The following code example creates a ForEachVariableMapping, sets the read-write properties, views the read-only properties, and sets up a mapping using the VariableName and ValueIndex properties.

        {
            // Create the new application and package.
            Application app = new Application();
            Package package = new Package();

            // Create ForEachLoop task
            Executables executables = package.Executables;
            ForEachLoop forEachLoop = executables.Add("STOCK:FOREACHLOOP") as ForEachLoop;
  
            // Create a VariableMappings and VariableMapping objects.
            ForEachVariableMappings forEachVariableMappings = forEachLoop.VariableMappings;
            ForEachVariableMapping forEachVariableMapping = forEachVariableMappings.Add();
            // Set the properties.
            forEachVariableMapping.Description = "My ForEach Variable Mapping";
            forEachVariableMapping.Name = "My Name is ForEachVariableMapping";
            
            // View the read-only properties. CreationName can be blank.
            Console.WriteLine("ID:           {0}", forEachVariableMapping.ID);
            Console.WriteLine("CreationName: {0}", forEachVariableMapping.CreationName);

            // Create a mapping between the variable and its value.
            forEachVariableMapping.VariableName = @"Id";
            forEachVariableMapping.ValueIndex = 0;

            // Add other tasks to ForEachLoop container.
            //...

            // Run the package when the rest of the code is finished. 
            DTSExecResult status = package.Execute();
        }
