title: The connection manager will not acquire a connection because the connection manager OfflineMode property is set to TRUE
body: <p>When I open my existing SSIS project in design view I get the following error:</p>
  <pre><code>The connection manager will not acquire a connection because the connection manager OfflineMode property is set to TRUE
  </code></pre>
  <p>Meanwhile the OfflineMode is set to false. Can anyone tell me why am I getting this error?</p>
  <p>DelayValidation property of the connection is set to false and if I set it to true, the error goes away. But I just wanted to figure out why is this happening. I am not setting connection dynamically and last time I used the project, there were no errors and it ran while DelayValidation was set to false. What has changed?</p>
