Please note that Script Tasks and Script Components are different things. Using the terms interchangeably will confuse people who know the difference.

Script Tasks are used in the Control Flow (and are probably what is needed here).

Script Components are used only in data flows.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I ended up using Alvin's recommendation and write c# code in the script task.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
