Would someone please look in a 2017 SSIS package and post the PackageFormatVersion value? I expect that it is 9 but I want to confirm. It is certainly missing from the doco.

I cannot see this property:

in the project file
<DtsPackage FormatVersion="8">
in the package itself
DTS:LastModifiedProductVersion="15.0.0900.40"
DTS:Name="PackageFormatVersion">8</DTS:Property>

this is with
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2017 Version 15.9.6
SQL Server Data Tools 15.1.61901.03220

Hi Phil, an SSIS package is an XML file. Package properties can be read by opening in a text editor.

Hi Fredrico, thank you very kindly. PackageFormatVersion was 8 for SQL 2014, 2016 and now 2017.

Well, thanks a lot for the patronising reply.
Next time someone asks you to "look in a 2017 SSIS package", I assume that instead of firing up SSDT, you'll open it with an XML editor.

Hi Phil, that reply was only patronizing in your own mind. I advise you not to take things so personally. Have a great day!
