TOPIC: Excel Adapter Filename

Hi there,

I am using the following script to get the read (input) filename:

public object DoWork()
{
// get access to the READ TextFile Adapter
TextFileAdapter adapter = (TextFileAdapter)AdapterRead;

// return the filename for further processing
return Path.GetFileName(adapter.Filename);
}

It works for TextFileAdapters, for ExcelAdapter, I cast to the ExcelAdapter, but I then get an error that the "Filename" property is not available on the ExcelAdapter.

Is there a different propertyname?

hi heinz,

yes, the excel adapter uses a different property name for this. you have to use "workbook" instead of "filename".

you can find out the valid property names by using the adapter property view in the designer . please have a look to the attachment.
