BaseProvider Class

Defines the base provider for FTP extensibility classes. Most providers will inherit this class in order to implement functionality to retrieve settings from the IIS configuration files through the Initialize Method.

Syntax

public class BaseProvider : MarshalByRefObject, IDisposable
{
   protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
   {
   }
   protected virtual void Initialize(StringDictionary config)
   {
   }
}  

Public Class BaseProvider
   Inherits MarshalByRefObject
   Implements IDisposable
    
   Protected Overridable Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)
   End Sub

   Protected Overridable Sub Initialize(config As StringDictionary)
   End Sub
End Class
