Reading a variable in a script taks used as source

Hi,

I'm using a script task as source and I need to read a global variable.

I tried stuff I found on the internet, but they all use Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead(varName)

This gives an errero on 'Dts.' saying it can not resolve it.

If you'd like, you can predict what variable you'd like to read or write to, you can use the ReadOnlyVariable or ReadWriteVariable properties to pass in the variable to your script. At that point, you won't need the variable dispenser. Then, you could read the variable by using code as easy as this:

LocalVariable = DTS.Variables("VariableName").Value

|||Hi,

I've typed in the variables in the ReadOnlyVariables, but how can I access them in the script?

Also, 'LocalVariable = DTS.Variables("VariableName").Value' doesn't work (because it's a source script?). I get an error that VB is unable to resolve 'dts'.

I'm using folowing import:
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Thank you
