After writing this code, build the solution and open the ExecPackage.aspx in the IE browser and click the button. You can now open up the SQL Server's Enterprise manager and verify that the Package was indeed executed (as shown in the next picture).

The most important step in executing the DTS packages with Visual Studio is to add the proper references to the COM assemblies. These may need to be added from the tools folder in the SQL Server installation files. It is also important to collect all the arguments, permissions, and so forth needed for loading the package before attempting to execute the package. Make sure the Load statement is all in one line, without extra white spaces. We will look at the DTS API in more detail in the next tutorial.
