Public Class DataConnectionUIControl _
Inherits UserControl _
Implements IVsDataConnectionUIControl, IVsDataSiteableObject(Of IVsDataConnectionUIProperties), _
IVsDataSiteableObject(Of IServiceProvider)
Dim instance As DataConnectionUIControl
public class DataConnectionUIControl : UserControl, IVsDataConnectionUIControl,
IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties>, IVsDataSiteableObject<IServiceProvider>
public ref class DataConnectionUIControl : public UserControl,
IVsDataConnectionUIControl, IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties^>, IVsDataSiteableObject<IServiceProvider^>
public class DataConnectionUIControl extends UserControl implements IVsDataConnectionUIControl, IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties>, IVsDataSiteableObject<IServiceProvider>
Remarks
Use this interface to support graphical representation of connection information, as in the Visual Studio Data Connection dialog box, which is implemented by the IVsDataConnectionProperties interface.
The DataConnectionUIControl class provides a completely customized UI, and provides implementers of DDEX providers with the maximum degree of flexibility. No specialized UI is available unless you implement the DataConnectionUIControl class.
A derived class can use the SiteChanged event to invoke custom behavior when this event is raised. Then, whenever the contents of the connection UI control need to be updated, the LoadProperties method is called. A derived class should update all of its controls with the data currently stored in the Site object.
