I'm trying to run a local SSIS package from a C# console application. I've built both the package and the application using .Net 4.5.1 in VisualStudio 2012. When I say "local" I mean the SSIS package hasn't been deployed to a SQL Server; I'm just trying to call the .dtsx file from the file system. The SSIS package runs fine from within VisualStudio. Here's my code:
string pkgLocation = @"C:\Users\06717\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\RMA_Data_Cleanup\RMA_Data_Cleanup\";
string pkgName = "Package.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package pkg = new Package();
DTSExecResult pkgResults = new DTSExecResult();
try
{
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation + pkgName, null);
There's more after this, obviously, but the problem comes with the app.LoadPackage line. When I try to run it, this exception gets thrown:
The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
I've googled this error message, and I haven't found anything that seems to apply to my case. One thing that occurs to me is that maybe I'm calling the wrong dtsx file. There's another one in the obj\Development folder. I've tried calling that one too, but I get the same exception. Am I calling the right file? Is there something I need to do from within Visual Studio, other than build the package, before I can do this? (pkgResults = Success, BTW)
