Public ReadOnly Property ComponentMetaData As IDTSComponentMetaData100

The IDTSComponentMetaData100 of the data flow component.

Components are described and persisted by their ComponentMetaData. In addition to identifying a component by the ComponentClassID property, the metadata contains the collection of IDTSInput100, IDTSOutput100, IDTSInputColumn100 and IDTSOutputColumn100 objects, in addition to any IDTSCustomProperty100 objects defined by the component.

During package design, the ComponentMetaData is modified, validated, and finally persisted in the package XML.
