  I am getting a datetime column from SqlServer (SS). I want it to appear as a "String" column to SSIS so that I can directly fit it into an SSIS string. After that, I want to loop over this column with a Foreach loop and assign each row to a SSIS string called "str_SSIS". So, I tried CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), MyDatetimeColumn, 121) and dumped it into a result set.

  But, SSIS complains that the type of the vaue being assigned to variable str_SSIS differs from the current variable type.

  Why could this be happening and how do I fix it ?

  Now, I also get the error - Error: ForEach Variable Mapping number 1 to variable "strMyString" cannot be applied.

  Thanks.

  In theory everything seems to be correct.

  Can you supply some screenshots of your package design?
