• Windows Forms "working" progress bar

• SQL Server Custom Component development questions

  I have looked at everything I could find on custom components, and I'm still confused about what has to be implemented in ReinitializeMetadata. The first custom component I'm trying to build is very similar to the Audit component, a derived column synchronous transformation that should be able to create any non-empty subset of four types of output columns.
