Remarks

Each derived service class corresponds to a specific data provider identified by its namespace. Mark each derived service class by using the DatabaseSchemaProviderCompatibilityAttribute but with a parameter of nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). You must use the following syntax: [DatabaseSchemaProviderCompatibility(null)].

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
