Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap (in microsoft.sqlserver.dtspipelinewrap.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<DispIdAttribute(126)> _
Property ValidateExternalMetadata As Boolean

[DispIdAttribute(126)] 
bool ValidateExternalMetadata { get; set; }

[DispIdAttribute(126)] 
property bool ValidateExternalMetadata {
    bool get ();
    void set ([InAttribute] bool pbValidate);
}

/** @property */
/** @attribute DispIdAttribute(126) */ 
boolean get_ValidateExternalMetadata ()

/** @property */
/** @attribute DispIdAttribute(126) */ 
void set_ValidateExternalMetadata (/** @attribute InAttribute() */ boolean pbValidate)

DispIdAttribute(126) 
function get ValidateExternalMetadata () : boolean

DispIdAttribute(126) 
function set ValidateExternalMetadata (pbValidate : boolean)

Property Value

true if the component should validate its column metadata against the external data source during design time; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

When this property is true, the component connects to its external data source during design time and validates the columns in its input or output collections against the columns at the external data source.

When set to false, the component does not perform this "connected" validation, but validates its input and output columns against the columns in the IDTSExternalMetadataColumnCollection90 collection, if the developer has implemented this functionality.
