SSIS Script Component Write to Variable

This is with SQL 2005.

I have a script component inside a Data Flow Task. I would like to read from the input columns and write the data to a global user variable.

I've set my input columns and added my global user variable as a ReadWriteVariable to the script component properties.

Here is my code, I'm just trying to alter the value of the global user variable here, but its not working. When I write out the value of the variable in another task it still has its default value:

Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper

Public Class ScriptMain
    Inherits UserComponent
    Dim updateSQL As String

    Public Sub Main()
        Dim vars As IDTSVariables90

        VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("SQL_ATTR_Update", vars)
        vars("SQL_ATTR_Update").Value = "Test"
        vars.Unlock()
    End Sub


    Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
        'updateSQL = Row.ITMID + Row.PRCCAT
    End Sub

End Class

I have also tried with no luck:

Me.ReadWriteVariables("SQL_ATTR开发者_JS百科_Update").Value = "Test"

I figured it out.

From MS:

In Script component code, you use typed accessor properties to access certain package features such as variables and connection managers.

The PreExecute method can access only read-only variables. The PostExecute method can access both read-only and read/write variables.

For more information about these methods, see Coding and Debugging the Script Component.

It looks like Dts is only available in Script Task.

Here is what the code looks like:

Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper

Public Class ScriptMain
    Inherits UserComponent
    Dim updateSQL As String


    Public Overrides Sub PostExecute()
        Me.ReadWriteVariables("SQL_ATTR_Update").Value = "Test"
    End Sub

    Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
        'updateSQL = Row.ITMID + Row.PRCCAT
    End Sub

End Class

Here is how you could do it: http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-use-variables-in-script.html

Use

Dts.Variables("SQL_ATTR_Update").Value = "Test"

And SQL_ATTR_Update needs to be a global variable and listed in your ReadWriteVariables for that script task.
