The following example shows a component that connects to an ADO.NET connection manager during AcquireConnections.
public override void AcquireConnections(object transaction)
{
if (ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManager != null)
{
// Convert the native IDTSConnectionManager100 to the managed ConnectionManager,
// then retrieve the underlying connection through the InnerObject.
ConnectionManager cm = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager(ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManager);
ConnectionManagerAdoNet cmado = cm.InnerObject as ConnectionManagerAdoNet;
// If the InnerObject is not an ConnectionManagerAdoNet, then
// the cmado object is null.
if( cmado == null )
throw new Exception("The ConnectionManager " + cm.Name + " is not an ADO.NET connection.");
// Get the underlying connection object.
this.oledbConnection = cmado.AcquireConnection(transaction) as OleDbConnection;
if( this.oledbConnection == null )
throw new Exception("The ConnectionManager " + cm.Name + " is not an ADO.NET connection.");
isConnected = true;
}
}
