sql server dts:
Hi

I have created nice DTS package and saved it as .BAS file. How can I
customize and execute it now from C#.NET? I have found on the net that
I have to create custom task. I have customtask.dll, now I should
implement something new there or I can just use it? Can I set
properties from there like path of the Excel file used for importing
data?

thanks

Have a look at Gert's way of using DTS and .Net here

Thank you Allan, that is a way I am already executing DTS packages, but
can you change package properties like path of the Excel file (with
import data) in that way? I was told that I have to use Custom Task and
VBasic format of the package.

I found the answer .. I have to translate .BAS file to C#, and then
call it. Now I have problem with 'QueryInterface for interface
DTS.CustomTask failed', but it seems like lots of people do, too. I
have SP2, it doesn't solve it.

I had popular 'QueryInterface for interface DTS.CustomTask failed'
error, but SP3 for SQL Server solved it and now it is OK, everything
works finally!
