SQL 2005 SSIS: Unpivot Transformation - Destination Column

Came across an interesting little bug today in SSIS...

When using the Unpivot transformation, if you attempt to see the results of the Destination Column in a data viewer well, you can't... the column just isn't there. However, when the output is sent to an actual data destination it is created as expected. You just have no way of knowing that until you actually look at the destination itself.

Wasted quite a bit of time on that one!
