DataSourceSpecializer Class
Represents an ability to specialize the behavior of a DDEX provider based on the data source to which it is connected.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.dll)
Syntax
Public MustInherit Class DataSourceSpecializer
Dim instance As DataSourceSpecializer
public abstract class DataSourceSpecializer
public ref class DataSourceSpecializer abstract
public abstract class DataSourceSpecializer
Remarks
Some DDEX providers behave very differently against different data sources. The most extreme example is with generic providers like OLE DB and ODBC whose specific provider or driver defines the behavior. A simpler example is the differentiation between a SQL Server connection and a SQL Server Database File connection.
While the same provider is used to connect to each data source, the design time experience may be very different. A DDEX provider can implement this class to provide ways of customizing behavior of the provider depending on its data source.
