Summary

This chapter showed you how to write custom data flow components by starting with a conceptual overview of the component design and execution life cycles and then it covered the design time and runtime interfaces. Details of how to implement the various required functions were covered and sample code is available in the SampleComponents folder for you to study. Although Integration Services does provide a broad and deep set of components, there will still be times when it is necessary to roll your own. This chapter should get you off to a good start.
