The aim of this exercise is to read in a shopping list and calculate the total amount of money it will cost to buy:
|
|
| The shopping list | What the package should show |
To get started, run the script in the above folder to create a table called tblList, then create a package called Aldi or Waitrose.
Create the following variables (strictly speaking you don't need the last one):
The ShoppingList variable will hold the table records.
Now create the control tasks to make this work:
The SQL script to begin should be something like SELECT ItemName, Quantity, Pence FROM tblList.
Here's the script you could use:
// display total value of all items (price * quantity)
decimal TotalValue = Convert.ToDecimal(
Dts.Variables["TotalValue"].Value);
MessageBox.Show("Total value of all items is £" +
(TotalValue/100).ToString("#,##0.00"),"Shopping list");
Test that this package gives £8.14 when run as the total!
