Migrate console C# to SSIS Script Task

Question

I have a C# console app that reads Excel data and reformats it/cleans it up. Finally, app writes data to 2 different CSV files. This console app. has :

1. Program.cs - contains Main method.
2. Row.cs - properties that split each row of data into separate columns.
3. Locations.cs - properties for working with locations (data is divided by regions/locations).
4. LocationsBuilder.cs - contains main logic where data cleaning and transformation occurs.

I would like to migrate all of the C# code into an SSIS C# Script Task, not sure how to do this as Script Task code seems to only 1 use 1 file for all code.

I would like, if possible, to have all code in 1 script so it works in SSIS Script Task.

Answer 1

SSIS is a platform for ETL work. You can archive Excel to CSV format.

How to do it
1. Open Integration Services project / SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
2. Create a new SSIS package
3. Add data flow and add those 2 files as datasource 
4. Add control flow accordingly if you have any conditional logic in console applicaiton.
5. Add output destination as CSV ouput
6. That's it

Answer 2

You can keep your code as it is .

In the SSIS designer add a script task component, and copy all classes code inside the script (You can create multiple class inside one cs file or add new classes to the project) . And copy the main method code inside the main function in the script.

Or you can create a class library and use it inside the script task code.
