DataReader Destination

The DataReader destination exposes the data in a data flow by using the ADO.NET DataReader interface. The data can then be consumed by other applications. For example, you can configure the data source of a Reporting Services report to use the result of running a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services package. To do this, you create a data flow that implements the DataReader destination.

For information about accessing and reading values in the DataReader destination programmatically, see Loading the Output of a Package into Another Program.

You can specify a time-out value for the DataReader destination and indicate whether the destination should fail if a time-out occurs. A time-out occurs if the application does not ask for data within the specified time.

The DataReader destination has one input. It does not support an error output.

Configuring the DataReader Destination

You can set properties through SSIS Designer or programmatically.

For more information about the properties that you can set in the Advanced Editor dialog box or programmatically, click one of the following topics:
