How do i debug a Script task...I need to know the values in the variables...Is it possible to step through???

Of course. Set breakpoints and run interactively in BIDS.
Debugging a Script Component is not so easy ...

If I remember correctly SQL 2005 SSIS won't let you step through the script. I seem to remember using MSGBOX a lot..

You do not remember correctly - it works in SSIS 2005:-)
But there was a bug (I think) - if you've got multiple script tasks chained together and you're trying to debug one of the later scripts, breakpoints are sometimes just ignored. I can't remember the exact circumstances.

Then I stand corrected, its been a while for me with SSIS 2005. I have spent significantly more time with SSIS 2008 and a wee bit with 2011.

BIDS 2005 requires you to run the entire package to be able to debug using breakpoints on a script task. If you try to just execute the script task by itself, the breakpoints are ignored.

To expand: take a look at the Locals window and the Watch window (if you added a watch to a variable).
