In this chapter, you'll learn how to write custom components for the Data Flow Task. Starting with a concepts discussion to help you understand the general design of components, the chapter then digs down into code. The two types of components, adapters and transforms, are covered and four sample components are provided in the sample source that will serve as the baseline for the discussion.
