Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in microsoft.sqlserver.manageddts.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Locked As Boolean

public bool Locked { get; }

public:
property bool Locked {
    bool get ();
}

/** @property */
public boolean get_Locked ()

public function get Locked () : boolean

Property Value

true indicates that the collection is locked. A value of false indicates that the collection is unlocked.

Remarks

The Variables collection contains a Locked property that indicates whether a variable dispenser collection of variables is locked (true) or unlocked (false). The reason to review this property is that some tasks explicitly release locks to the variables they are using, and calling Unlock twice throws an error. Therefore, you should use Locked property determine whether the dispensed collection is locked before calling Unlock.

Example

The following code example locks the variable collection when GetVariables is called. The example then determines whether the collection is locked and, if the collection is locked, calls Unlock.

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Package pkg = new Package();
            Variables vars = null;
            VariableDispenser variableDispenser = pkg.VariableDispenser;
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::PackageName");
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::OfflineMode");
            variableDispenser.LockForWrite("System::InteractiveMode");
            variableDispenser.GetVariables(ref vars);           
            // Determine whether the variable collection is locked before unlocking.
            Boolean isLocked = vars.Locked;

            // Verify the value of vars.Locked. If the lock failed,
            // call Reset.
            if (isLocked)
            {
                vars.Unlock();
            }
            else
            {
                variableDispenser.Reset();
            }
