Why are you doing this in a script task - if you aer setting a connection you can do it in an expression.

Have a lok at the connectionstring (I think) property on one of your connections to see the format.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks David/NR,
that sounds very easy NR but i didt find connection string option.
1. i have a SQL TASK which extracts output of a query into result set object VARIABLE1
2. in a for each loop iam using the object VARIABLE1 as Enumerator and maping the columns in VARIABLE1(server_name, DB_Name,...) to variables of the package.
3. in the for loop container i want to run a Data flow task which performs some extract data using the dynamic connection, transform and load...

I did't find EXPRESSION which gives me connectionstring option can you tell me where should i look for it
or can you tell me the steps
