DataSourceProvider Class

Common base class and contract for DataSourceProvider objects, which are factories that execute some queries to produce a single object or a list of objects that you can use as binding source objects.

Namespace: System.Windows.Data
Assembly: WindowsBase (in WindowsBase.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public MustInherit Class DataSourceProvider _
    Implements INotifyPropertyChanged, ISupportInitialize

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As DataSourceProvider

public abstract class DataSourceProvider : INotifyPropertyChanged, 
    ISupportInitialize

Visual C++

public ref class DataSourceProvider abstract : INotifyPropertyChanged, 
    ISupportInitialize

JScript

XAML

This class is abstract; see Inheritance Hierarchy for derived non-abstract classes usable in XAML.

Remarks

DataSourceProvider is a convenience wrapper around an existing data model; it does not replace any data model. A data provider does not attempt to condense the complexity and versatility of a data model such as ADO into one single object with a few properties.

DataSourceProvider is an abstract class. Use one of the derived classes, which are XmlDataProvider and ObjectDataProvider. The DataSourceProvider is aware of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) threading and dispatcher model. It assumes the thread at creation time to be the UI thread. Events will get marshaled from a worker thread to the UI thread of the application.
