public abstract short GetProviderVersion ()

public:
virtual short GetProviderVersion () abstract

The version number for the simple provider.

Remarks

Provider version is tied closely to the data and metadata schema for a provider, not necessarily to the actual build or release number of the provider. If a provider changes its data or metadata schema, it should increase its version. Conversely, if a new release of a provider does not change the schema, it is not necessary to increase the version.
