I have created a Custom Task and configured the Name property the
following way:

Private Property Let CustomTask_Name(ByVal sNewName As String)
Name = sNewName
End Property

Private Property Get CustomTask_Name() As String
CustomTask_Name = Name
End Property

I compile the dll and register it successfully in DTS, but when I drop
it on the Designer workspace, I get the following error:

Error Source : Microsoft Data Transofrmation Service (DTS) Package
Error Description : Cannot Load, Save or Execute the Package if some
objects do not have a Name. Please specify Names for these objects.

My question is how is this handled automatically by the system. I've
searched the documentation and this group and found nothing that helps
me out.

Thanks,
Bill Parrott
