ADO NET Source Editor (Connection Manager Page)

  • Article

Use the Connection Manager page of the ADO NET Source Editor dialog box to select the ADO.NET connection manager for the source. This page also lets you select a table or view from the database.

To learn more about the ADO NET source, see ADO NET Source.

To open the Connection Manager page

  1. In SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), open the Integration Services package that has the ADO NET source.

  2. On the Data Flow tab, double-click the ADO NET source.

  3. In the ADO NET Source Editor, click Connection Manager.

    When you preview data, columns with a CLR user-defined type do not contain data. Instead the values <value too big to display> or System.Byte[] display.
