I have packages that use script components as a data source. Some of them override the PrimeOutput method from the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent class. In 2008, this method has 3 parameters, but starting in 2012, it now has four parameters.
These packages are currently executing under SSIS 2008, but will soon be moved to SSIS 2014. I need to open these packages up and fix the issue, but I would like to do it ahead of time and still be able to deploy to SSIS 2008, but also have them work under 2014 when the new environment is ready without having to make additional changes when moving between environments.
If I could differentiate between environments at compile time, then I can get around this problem, but that would mean I would need to use preprocessor directives. I know I can define them in the script component's project file, but I'd like this to work in SSIS 2008 and SSIS 2012 without having to make changes to the .dtsx file.
Does anyone know if the various versions of SSIS define version-specific directives when compiling script components?

Using the SSIS Data Tools extension for Visual Studio, it is possible to carry out various operations in a straightforward manner. However VSTA and the Script Task are a major exception—specifically in VS 2019.
After editing an existing Script Task the script text will reset to the default value.
Creating a new Script Task (other than the default) is likewise impossible, as far as I can tell.
I have tried editing the base64 string in which the VSTA task is stored within my .dtsx files.
After that I tried manipulating the files and directory structure under the VSTA temp directory in order to persist changes in the scripting solutions/projects. I have also tried many other tactics, such as including the task implementation as an additional source file, as a binary reference, or via partial classes, a base class etc., within the Script Task.
But none of these approaches (even if they were to work) are necessarily maintainable or simple in the context of a team.
Is there any sustainable long-term alternative that allows Script Task development in VS 2019?
The SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension for Visual Studio 2019 has a fix.
Script Task creation and editing appears to be working as of version 3.2.1 of the extension.
This was apparently released some time in the past few weeks (as of date of writing, 26 November 2019).
I haven't written any custom SSIS components in a few years and am having problems trying to do one currently. I have the following installed:
VS 2019, SQL Server 2017, SSDT.
I have created a project in VS and when I try to find the component containing the SSIS dts pipeline stuff, it is not in the list. I do see a plethora of other SSIS transforms, sources, and destinations type libraries though.
Any ides on what I am missing?
I'm trying to migrate an existing Visual Studio C# project to run in a script task in an SSIS package.
The current C# console application uses "Linq to Sql Classes" to generate a dbml file and the necessary classes.
But when I go to edit the script task in the SSIS PACKAGE I'm not able to find the LINQ TO SQL CLASSES. I right click on the project and select "add -> new item" and look for the "Linq to Sql Classes" item to add the dbml file to my project but it's not there?
Confusing because if I do the exact same thing in Visual Studio 2013 in a console application, I'm able to add the "Linq to Sql Classes". Does anyone have any ideas? I realize I could use Entity Framework but that would take a considerable amount of time to re-write everything. Also I've thought about just executing the console application's compiled executable from within the SSIS package but our database team will not allow packages to run executables.
Also I'm targeting the .net framework 4.0 for both the Visual Studio 2013 console applications and from within the Visual Studio 2013 editor in the SSIS Package Script Task.
I stumbled across this question because I have(had) this exact same problem. We had an existed DataContext file which had been mapped to a database. I had updated the database which SSIS but my changes werent being reflected in the Script task. I created a seperate project and created a linq-to-sql file and connected it to the same database as my Script task. Then added all the existing tables and the new one too. which generated a new Datacontext file. I then copied the code back into the original Datacontext file within the script task.
Hope this helps you and future programmers
I was developing a SSIS project, but accidentaly, I erased it. However I keep a copy of the SSIS package. So my question is, it is posible recover the project using the package? or is someway to read the package content to start over the project?
Thanks
I don't remember there being anything too essential stored in the project files for SSIS projects - you can create a new project and then 'Add Existing Item...' and add the package(s).
#Will gave you the correct solution. Project files are XML files that list which packages are part of a project. You can add an existing package back without any issues. You can even manually add a node if you want by editing the file directly. I use to find this useful before BIDS Helper offered sorting capabilities.
You may also want to implement a version control system if you are working with SSIS. Every once in a blue moon a package gets into a funky, unrecoverable state and we have to rollback to a previous version to get it working again. This happens about 4 times a year for a team of 6 people who work on 100-200 packages. Also, you will never lose a package again even if you erase it on the server and your local copy is wiped out.
For my requirement I need to write Script task from One SSIS package to another. As my server is 64bit machine, when I execute the overriden SSIS package, it throws the error "Binary Script not found". Hence I need to compile the script programmatically in the Parent SSIS package and put the binary code into the another one. I dont know how to compile the Script programmatically.
Let me know how to do that
I don't think you can do this with SSIS. If there's a way to accomplish this using a Parent Package / Child Package architecture, I'm unaware of it.
You can get more flexibility creating packages dynamically in .Net. Although I haven't tried to dynamically compile script task code.
I'm curious: Why not copy the code out of the parent package and paste it into a child package?

So you need to somehow programatically execute a (Debug>Build). This typically gets around the problem of binary not being found, when you do it manually in VS. Doesn't strike me as possible at runtime though.
