SSIS Cannot recognize Date column datatype

First of all, I have an empty table in my local database, which looks like this:

*Take note of the date datatype of column A.

Next, I generate a package with a connection manager programatically through Visual Basic using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime:

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Module Module2

    Sub Main()

        Dim app As Application = New Application()
        Dim package As Package = New Package()

        Dim connectionManager As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
        connectionManager.Properties("Description").SetValue(connectionManager,"DESCRIPTION")
        connectionManager.Properties("Name").SetValue(connectionManager,"Test")

        Dim Provider As String ="SQLOLEDB"
        Dim ServerName As String ="DESKTOP-UPN5DLT"
        Dim DatabaseName As String ="Test"

        connectionManager.ConnectionString ="Data Source="&
            ServerName &";Initial Catalog="&
            DatabaseName &";Provider="& Provider &";Integrated Security=SSPI;"

        app.SaveToXml("C:\Users\zafir\Desktop\Package_3.dtsx", package, Nothing)End SubEnd Module

Next, I open the .dtsx package in Data Tools and add a dataflow with a single OLE DB Destination component.

When I bind the component to the generated connection manager, the datatype for the column A is not recognized, and is set to a default of DT_WSTR of size 10.

All other data types (in this case: datetime & int) are properly recognized.

Now, if I delete the ole db connection manager, and add it manually, it will work like a charm.

I've got the following specs:

• SQL Server 2016
• Data Tools 2015
• DTSRuntimeWrap.dll 12.0.0.0

How do I solve this? This is obviously a problem with the library.
