Script Task and Variable Type

Hi,

I am using the following code in Script Task and it is giving me the error as shown below

FileCount is a variable defined as Int16 (with initial value = 0 ) and it is part of Read/Write variables portion of Script

Dim FileCount As Int16

FileCount = CType(Dts.Variables("FileCount").Value, Int16)

Dts.Variables("FileCount").Value = FileCount + 1 //Error on this Line

The type of value being assigned to @.User::FileCount differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change during execution.

Please Guide what is wrong with this.

The result produced from "FileCount + 1" is of type Integer, you are trying to assign it to type Short. Change the line to the following and it should work:

Dts.Variables("FileCount").Value = CShort(FileCount + 1)
