AddonDataHandler class
SharePoint 2013
An abstract base class from which all implementations for data modules must derive.
Namespace:
Microsoft.Office.Visio.Server
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Visio.Server (in Microsoft.Office.Visio.Server.dll)
Data modules are adapters used by the data extensibility mechanism to query data sources for which the server does not have built-in support. A data module is represented by a public class that derives from AddonDataHandler and implements its abstract methods: BeginGetData(HttpContext, AsyncCallback, Object), EndGetData(IAsyncResult), and Cancel(). A data module class is dynamically loaded, instantiated, and used to query the corresponding data source. This only works if the data module is correctly deployed and registered with the server.
