IDynamicValues Interface
Definition
The IDynamicValues interface is used to create dynamic lists for string properties. A class should implement this interface, and use the DynamicValuesAttribute (below), to enable the generation of dynamic values.
This interace and attribute can be used when a list of strings that will not be known until run-time should be shown in a drop down list. Good examples of this are database names, users, collations, etc.
