Establishes a relationship between an output column and a corresponding external metadata column.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Function MapOutputColumn ( _
    lOutputID As Integer, _
    lOutputColumnID As Integer, _
    lExternalMetadataColumnID As Integer, _
    bMatch As Boolean _
) As IDTSExternalMetadataColumn100
'Usage
Dim instance As IDTSDesigntimeComponent100
Dim lOutputID As Integer
Dim lOutputColumnID As Integer
Dim lExternalMetadataColumnID As Integer
Dim bMatch As Boolean
Dim returnValue As IDTSExternalMetadataColumn100

returnValue = instance.MapOutputColumn(lOutputID, _
    lOutputColumnID, lExternalMetadataColumnID, _
    bMatch)

IDTSExternalMetadataColumn100^ MapOutputColumn(
    [InAttribute] int lOutputID, 
    [InAttribute] int lOutputColumnID, 
    [InAttribute] int lExternalMetadataColumnID, 
    [InAttribute] bool bMatch
)

abstract MapOutputColumn : 
        lOutputID:int * 
        lOutputColumnID:int * 
        lExternalMetadataColumnID:int * 
        bMatch:bool -> IDTSExternalMetadataColumn100 

function MapOutputColumn(
    lOutputID : int, 
    lOutputColumnID : int, 
    lExternalMetadataColumnID : int, 
    bMatch : boolean
) : IDTSExternalMetadataColumn100

Parameters

  • bMatch
    Type: System.Boolean
    Indicates whether the output column and external metadata columns match.

Remarks

This method is called to map an output column to a column in the ExternalMetadataColumnCollection of the output. When you are developing a custom data flow component, you override this method, to ensure that the external columns and the output column match, and to indicate that you want to allow the mapping to occur. For more information about working with external metadata columns, see Implementing External Metadata.
