How do I use DTS.Events.FireInformation() in SSIS Script Task while handling WinSCPnet.dll FileTransferProgress?

Question

I have a Script Task in an SSIS (2008) package that downloads files from a remote FTP server to a local directory. The Script Task is written in C# 2008, and uses WinSCPnet.dll. Using examples from WinSCP's documentation, I came up with the script below. The script functions correctly to download the files, but all the file success/failure messages are held until the entire script completes, and then all the messages are dumped at once. File progress is not displayed at all using Console.Write(), and trying to use Dts.Events.FireInformation() in SessionFileTransferProgress gives me

Error: "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase.Dts.get"

Is there a way I can use the DTS.events.Fire* events to display file progress information as it happens, and file completion status after each file?

Answer 1

The answer I figured out was pretty simple. I changed SessionFileTransferProgress from private static void to private void. Once this method was no longer static, I was able to use this to invoke the Dts.Events.Fire* methods. SessionFileTransferProgress was changed to:

private void SessionFileTransferProgress(object sender, FileTransferProgressEventArgs e)
{
    bool fireAgain = false;

    this.Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, null,
                    string.Format("\r{0} ({1:P0})", e.FileName, e.FileProgress),
                    null, 0, ref fireAgain);

    // Remember a name of the last file reported
    _lastFileName = e.FileName;
}
