how to set the log file path of the SSIS package programmatically

Question

Hi, I am executing SSIS package programmatically using C# and I want to set the log file for the package by reading the path from the web.config file. I looked at the code from the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136023.aspx. but the package already has logging enabled and file name set to some location, I just need to be able to update the log file path to a different location dynamically by reading from config file. Please let me know how to do this. thanks in advance.

You should be able to modify the ConnectionString property of the ConnectionManager, which can be retrieved from an existing package's Connections property. For example:

Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(@"C:\PathToPackage", null);

// LogFileConnection is an existing connection to a log file.
ConnectionManager c = p.Connections["LogFileConnection"] as ConnectionManager;
if (c != null)
    c.ConnectionString = @"C:\SomePathToLogFile"; // Change the file path

p.Execute(); //You should now see events logged to the new file path
