Hi all, I'm becoming an enthusiastic BIML developer but facing regular issues when using it in VS 2015. Is there any insight when BIML Express will become available for VS 2017? Greetings
I am trying to imbed a "script component" for the packages that I am generating inside a for loop. It looks like the script project need to be outside of the packages collection. How can I write a biml that would reference the script project. I need the columns of the pipe defined by biml.
