Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function EditPropertyExpression ( _
    parentWindow As IWin32Window, _
    dtsContainer As DtsContainer, _
    property As IDTSPropertiesProvider, _
    propertyName As String _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As IDtsDesignerUtilitiesService
Dim parentWindow As IWin32Window
Dim dtsContainer As DtsContainer
Dim property As IDTSPropertiesProvider
Dim propertyName As String
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.EditPropertyExpression(parentWindow, _
    dtsContainer, property, propertyName)

bool EditPropertyExpression(
    IWin32Window parentWindow,
    DtsContainer dtsContainer,
    IDTSPropertiesProvider property,
    string propertyName
)

bool EditPropertyExpression(
    IWin32Window^ parentWindow, 
    DtsContainer^ dtsContainer, 
    IDTSPropertiesProvider^ property, 
    String^ propertyName
)

abstract EditPropertyExpression : 
        parentWindow:IWin32Window * 
        dtsContainer:DtsContainer * 
        property:IDTSPropertiesProvider * 
        propertyName:string -> bool 

function EditPropertyExpression(
    parentWindow : IWin32Window, 
    dtsContainer : DtsContainer, 
    property : IDTSPropertiesProvider, 
    propertyName : String
) : boolean

Parameters

  • propertyName
    Type: System.String
    The name of the property to which the expression is assigned.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the expression has changed; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the expression is a property expression, the EditPropertyExpression method is simpler to use than the EditExpression method. The EditPropertyExpression method determines the return type of the expression from the data type of the property and assigns the expression to the property for you. However, you can also use the EditExpression method whenever you want to let the user create or modify an expression.
