'Usage
Dim instance As FederatedResultsDatasource
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]

public class FederatedResultsDatasource : SearchResultsBaseDatasource
Remarks
This is the data source that the FederatedResultsWebPart uses to gather data. It is the intermediary between the consuming FederatedResultsBaseWebPart and the FederatedResultsDataSourceView, which is the object that gathers the data. It contains similar properties to the FederatedResultsWebPart and passes these configuration values to the FederatedResultsDataSourceView.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to set the user credentials on the Federated Results Web Part data source for a custom Federated Results Web Part You must set user credentials in this way for federated locations that are configured to use any of the per-user authentication types, with the exception of Kerberos. For more information, see Creating a Custom Federated Search Web Part with a Credentials UI.
Note
This code example is a simplified version of a custom Federated Results Web Part; it does not include the full code needed to prompt the user for their credentials. For a more complete example that demonstrates how to do this, see Custom Federated Search Web Part Sample.
