Hi,
I hav eplaced an expression for the flat file connection as below

@[User::FileDirectory] + @[User::FileName]

This is supposed to be used instead of the ConnectionString property of the flat file connection.

You can see that I have created two variables.

The variable
@[User::FileDirectory] is set to the directory. i.e. I have hardcoded the path to it and assigned it to this variable.

The variable @[User::FileName] is picked up automatically.

The question is:

When I go to the properties of the flat file connection, I delete the value inside the connectionstring property becuase there is now the expression which is set to the connectionstring.
But when I come back to this property then I am not sure why the connectionstring property gets populated with the directory that I hardcoded to the variable.

Many thanks
