View Original Post Here:[^]:
Create your variables in the Variable tab, mine are ProjectServer (String), DBName (String)

Create your DB Connection Object connecting directly to the actual Server and Database...Test your Connection

Right Click on the Connection Object and Select Properties
In the Properties Window Select Expressions by clicking the grey box with 3 dots ...
Select ConnectionString from the dropdown in the 1st column, then click the grey box with 3 dots.

In the Expression Editor that opens enter the following: "Data Source=" + @[User::ProjectServer] + ";Initial Catalog=FinancialProcessing;Integrated Security=True;"

Hope it helps.

My solution is:
insert a [Script Task], and in script task editor you can get connection manager from Dts as follow:
ConnectionManager cm = Dts.Connections["YOUR_CONNECTION_NAME"] as ConnectionManager;
then you can change connection string dynamic as follow:
cm.ConnectionString="Provider=XXX;Data Source=XXX;User ID=XXX;Password=XXX;Initial Catalog=XXX";

Hope useful for you.

PS:
When I try Expression Editor, it always show me error, Does somebody can describe how to do?
