Is there any way to force a package to fail from a Send Mail

  • 0

Is there any way to force a package to fail from a Send Mail Task? We have a package whose last step is to send a failure message using the Send Mail Task if certain criteria are met. Usually, we create another Script Task directly after the Mail Task which just fails the package using code:

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

Is there a way to eliminate the Script Task and fail the package directly from the Send Mail Task?

    I had a similar scenario, instead of using the send mail task I decided to send email from the script task. That’s the only way I found to combine sending an email and failing the package into one step. 

    Dim Message As MailMessage
Dim Smtp As SmtpClient

Message = New MailMessage("email@domain.com", "email@domain.com", "Packaged Failed", "Package Failed because...")

Smtp = New SmtpClient(Dts.Variables("EmailServer").Value.ToString())
Smtp.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
Smtp.Send(Message)

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
