ForLoop.Executables Property

Definition

Returns a collection of executable objects that are processed during the ForLoop iteration.

public:
 property Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Executables ^ Executables { Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::Executables ^ get(); };
public Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executables Executables { get; }
member this.Executables : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executables
Public ReadOnly Property Executables As Executables

Property Value

An Executables collection.

Implements

Examples

The following code example creates a ForLoop and sets the three expression properties. The ForLoop also contains two tasks, found in the loop's Executables collection.

Sample Output:

Number of Executables in ForLoop: 2

Number of precedence constraints: 1

Remarks

All containers, including the ForLoop, have an Executables property that contains the collection of executable objects processed by the run-time engine during execution of the container. The order of execution of the objects in the collection is determined by the PrecedenceConstraints that are inherited and implemented by the container.
