Dynamic Column Mapping - Dataflow Task

I was using the code in this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1371094&SiteID=1) to create a console application which can build the SSIS package dynamically and run the package.

If the source column and destination column names are of different cases then the application was failing during the mapping. So I modified the for each loop like below. Still this is not a fool proof method, this will work as long as all characters in the column names are upper or lower.

for eg., Source column = empl_id, Destination column = EMPL_ID, in this case the below code will work. if the source column or destination column is Empl_Id, then the below mapping will fail.




Code Block
foreach (IDTSVirtualInputColumn90 vColumn in vInput.VirtualInputColumnCollection)
{
IDTSInputColumn90 vCol = destnDesignTime.SetUsageType(input.ID, vInput, vColumn.LineageID, DTSUsageType.UT_READWRITE);
try
{
destnDesignTime.MapInputColumn(input.ID, vCol.ID, input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection[vColumn.Name.ToLower()].ID);
}
catch
{
destnDesignTime.MapInputColumn(input.ID, vCol.ID, input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection[vColumn.Name.ToUpper()].ID);
}
}


So how can I map the columns irrespective of the cases?
Thanks
