DataObjectSupport Class

Enables you to retrieve an XML stream that describes a set of data object types on a data source, which you can then interpret and manipulate programmatically.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Framework
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Framework (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Framework.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class DataObjectSupport _
    Inherits DataSupport _
    Implements IVsDataObjectSupport, IVsDataSupport
'Usage
Dim instance As DataObjectSupport
public class DataObjectSupport : DataSupport, 
    IVsDataObjectSupport, IVsDataSupport
public ref class DataObjectSupport : public DataSupport, 
    IVsDataObjectSupport, IVsDataSupport
public class DataObjectSupport extends DataSupport implements IVsDataObjectSupport, IVsDataSupport

Remarks

A data object type is a set of information that describes objects composing the structure of a data source—for example, a table or a data view. This information is provided in an XML stream (a Stream object) that conforms to the XML schema described in the DataObjectSupport.xsd file. For more information about this schema, see DDEX Data Object Support.

Implementing this object allows Visual Studio to access these objects programmatically without needing to rely on data source–specific commands.

You must implement this class to use data tools with the data provider, including the use of custom data view implementations that depend on programmatic access to data objects.
