Divide films into acceptable ones or rejects using a script component

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file .

Create a package called No horror films. Your task is to create within this the folloiwng data flow task to read films in from the above workbook, setting a flag called IfAcceptable for each (and using this to divide the films into two distinct groups):

If you're successful you should get 34 unacceptable films. Notes follow below!

To determine whether a film is successful or not, use a script component to set the value of a boolean column called IfAcceptable according to the following rules:

Column	Not acceptable if ...
RunTimeMinutes	The length of the film is more than 240 minutes (4 hours).
Genre	The genre is Horror.
Title	The film title contains the words Twilight Saga.

The thinking behind this is that overlong, horror or Twilight films should never be made ...

Here's a fragment of code to nudge you on your way (for conducting the third test). The ToLower() function ensures that we won't have any case-sensitivity problems:

// if Twilight Saga, reject

if (Row.Title.ToLower().Contains("twilight"))

{

When you've finished, close your package down.
